What did you expect from the voting body that elected this guy and CONTINUES to elect him

If you spent as much time learning about DC politics as you do looking for pictures, you might not be so misinformed. Barry is elected only by residents of Ward 8. Barry has not run city-wide since 1994 (other than an aborted campaign in 2002 which he ended before the election). In a city-wide election, Barry could not be elected dog catcher. Blaming the entire city for Barry is like blaming the entire state of Louisiana for the fact that David Duke won a state House seat.

Why doesn't the rest of dc heard that ward into voting for a better representative? DC is obviously too silo-ed.[/quote]Why don't the rest of the states get those fools in Illinois to vote for honest politicians? The US is obviously too siloed. [/quote]

DC is not the entire USA. DC's population is MUCH smaller than most major cities (Chicago, New York etc...)

Chicago	Washington	
Population	        2,856,330	598,391	
Pop. Density	12,444	9,629	
Households	1,049,648	263,056
[/quote]Dude, I know that. I was being sarcastic in order to make a point. How do you think it would feel to have someone from outside your ward tell you who to vote for? You may not like my councilman but I have a right as a citizen to vote for the person I want to represent me. Just like Illinoisans have the right to vote for any damn fool they want to even if it pisses Michiganders off.

FWIW, I'll be quite happy when MB passes away and Ward 8 will be free to choose a better representative. But I would never presume to tell the folks in Ward 8 for whom they should vote. [/quote]
