The Good is enemy of the Best

The Washington Post reports in tomorrow's paper, "D.C. Groups Divided Over Davis's Plan."

A proposal to give the District of Columbia a seat in Congress is drawing mixed reviews among proponents of D.C. voting rights, some hailing it as an important advance and others deriding it as a political ploy that undermines the goal of full statehood.

Although the proposal by Rep. Thomas M. Davis III (R-Va.) is still a work in progress with various options under consideration, it already is drawing attention and causing even some initial critics to give it a second look.
