Norton IS the reason D.C. doesn't have a vote.
Gingrich offered her a deal back in the 90's to get D.C. a vote, in exchange for normalizing the city's gun laws and giving another seat to Utah. Norton wouldn't take it. She'd rather have a gun ban in D.C. than a vote in Congress for her constituents. Then the Heller case came along and smacked that gun ban down anyway. Lose-Lose proposition. And still no vote. Because of Norton. |
| Eleanor Holmes Norton is a remarkable civil rights advocate and one of the best things about living in DC. I have so much respect for her. |
| As a congressional staffer who has seen her frequently, Im worried about her health. She has worked herself to a point of no return and I’m concerned about her ability to represent us well. |
| She hasn't 0represented us well" since ...... well, ever. |
Interesting that you'd say a woman who is a double Yale graduate lacks intellect. I'm not voting for her either but that line of attack isn't necessary. |
| I've met Kim Ford. Ms. Ford seems very sincere, but Eleanor still has my vote until she decides to retire. |
She's a legend. And should step down gracefully. I'm voting for Ford. |
Sorry, but I'm afraid that Yale has turned to fail. |
I’ve worked with her as well, and I agree. I also worry about her liver...

| Representation without Taxation wins again. |

Did anyone else see Ms. Norton today on C-Span? I think it was on 2019 budget, but could be wrong.
Basically, she was close to in-coherent. I live in inner core VA, so I watch DC like a hawk. It's time Washington DC. You need better representation. |
| Is this a serious question? The only credible answer is EHN. |
| EHN could be drooling in the corner and muttering “I am outraged” as usual, and the dumb sheep of DC will still vote for her. |
| Before Norton, DC’s delegate was Rev. “Little Lord” Fauntroy. Google him. A sorry streak for DC. |
Inner core VA? wtf is that? If you don't pay taxes in DC, no one cares what you think. |
