“Like, Share, Elect” will open in April and stay up through the end of inauguration weekend in 2017.
After some misreporting that he will run, turns out Romney won’t run for President in 2016.
It was on this day in 1964 that D.C. residents were able to cast their first ballots for president since they had lost that right in 1800.
In his 1972 loss to Richard Nixon, the late George McGovern only won two states: Massachusetts and D.C.
>> Giada De Laurentiis of Food Network’s Everyday Italian was in town this weekend filming a bit for her new show, Weekend Getaways. One Flickr photog caught her picking out plump tomatoes at the Dupont farmer’s market; did anyone else get a glimpse of the “Cooking With Cleavage” star? >> Oh, Clinton Portis, really? The Redskins player decided to come out in favor of dog fighting to defend embattled Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. This…
Last time we live blogged the House debate on District voting rights, things didn’t go too well. We’re hoping for a bit of an improvement today. From what we’ve heard on the Hill, debate kicks off at 10:30 a.m., and the legislation has been split up into two separate parts — one covering the actual voting seats both D.C. and Utah would receive and the other dealing with the minor increase in annual spending the…
With less than 24 hours until polls open, most District residents are caught in a curious spot. Bombarded with ads from both sides of the Potomac, we’re highly aware that a battle for control of Congress is taking place, and yet are powerless to take up arms. With average turnout in non-presidential election years hovering around 40%, we can’t help but have a little ire for those in Maryland and Virginia who could weigh in…

If you’re feeling sentimental, they’ll be at the 9:30 Club, along with Pillar, The Chariot, and Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, as part of the Warriors Tour. It’s doubtful that “Warriors” is a slick reference to Walter Hill’s 1979 classic movie, but you never know….
Good morning, D.C. In addition to scattered showers and thunderstorms, today brings news that the Circulator bus line is nearing its millionth passenger. Not too shabby — although the city’s busiest buslines put up those kinds of numbers every month and a half (probably less, given the age of the linked numbers). But officials say that Circulator ridership has been increasing steadily; assuming the service survives the looming Tourmobile legal apocalypse, its planned route around…
Ever wonder what pollster John Zogby is doing now that the elections are over? Zogby, famous for getting it totally wrong during the past presidential election, has enough free time these days to poll real people on who they think will win the presidential race on “The West Wing”. Um, has anyone told this guy it’s just a TV show? The Zogby website trumpets the following results:Santos Favored over Vinick; Fictional Democrat Would Beat Fictional…
