Washington, D.C. may run decidedly blue in elections, and you may have to walk past 25 blocks of Obama canvassers before you even spot a McCain sticker here these days, but that doesn’t mean we’re all in agreement in this city. Home furnishing and design store Skynear, located in Adams Morgan, recently asked artist Dana Ellyn if they could hang a few of her paintings. Ellyn is a popular local artist, having shown her work…

Former Republican Senate staffer Kellie Boyle has put together a website called “Hockey Moms for McCain-Palin.” The LM&O marketing consultant worked with a friend on the web site, which launched today. Boyle, a longtime Republican campaign volunteer, told ABC News that the organization is “pure grassroots,” and unaffiliated with the national campaign it is named after, supports, links to and extensively quotes. Boyle also told ABC that her son, presumably a local youth-hockey player, gave…

UPDATE: Point now moot! The rally has been moved amid all the outcry, although no word yet on the new location. Sen. John McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin have planned a campaign rally at Fairfax High School tomorrow morning, prompting the Post to write about how some people are concerned that the event makes it looks like Fairfax County Schools are endorsing McCain. The county does have a rule against such political events being…
