She’s only “cool” if you think making a career out of divisive racism is cool. Hopefully, Barack will get her constituents to wake up to the fact that people like her just dig dirt out from under the feet of the blacks who support her to lift herself up.

The neighborhood boundaries are actually set by the city. The deed to a house can tell you what legal subdivision a house sits in. Has nothing to do with metro stops or local landmarks.

Until this is a “real” seat in the House, she will continue to run with little opposition. However, if DC ever gets voting rights I think she will quickly replaced by a more capable candidate.

“One cool Congresswoman”? Please. She’s a disgrace. Let’s stick to the hipster blogging and leave political commentary to those who know something about it.

Someone tell me one thing Nortons done for DC other than a yearly cart ride across the mall? She needs to go. Don’t give me this “well she does have a vote” thing either. If she wasn’t such a snot she could work acrosss party lines and get support from other members. My neighborhood has gone to her on more than one occassion for her assistance only to be hammered down with her “I’m personal friends with such-and-such developer, we’ll work it out”. SOMEONE RUN AGAINST HER PLEASE

It’s so funny. Neighborhood names are not really ‘offical’ in any way, are they? I’ve just always associated places with the closest metro stop or landmark.

Congresswoman Norton is one of the smartest Members of Congress. We are very lucky to have her representing us. (Grouping her with Barry is unfair at best.)

I think 712 Kenyon Street is officially “Park View” but generally considered Columbia Heights. At least that’s my impression of the 700 block of Irving where I reside.
