Virginia gets the VIP treatment at the Democratic National Convention, while the District and Maryland watched President Barack Obama's acceptance speech from the nosebleed seats. As the party wraps at the DNC, we talk with local Democrats and examine the week's big winners and losers.

Great to hear Mark Plotkin back on WAMU at noon on Friday!
I am furious about the way Washington was treated at the convention. Delegate Norton has done more for Washington without a vote than states that have representation. I did not know whether to roll on the floor laughing at poor deluded Brian Moran calling Virginia purple or to burst into tears for the poor rural democratic voters who have been held hostage by the NoVA dem mob bosses. Purple my ear. The DPVA has successfully lost 3 election cycles turning the GA bright red. Let's see, they have transvag Bob, CooCoo Cooch who initiated a law suit against HCR and voter suppression. Brian calls this a purple state? Wow. Nonetheless, the DNC rolled out the blue carpet for Virginia delagates hoping against hope that they could pull off another Obama victory. Really? Not unless they change the Virginia OFA Political Director Don Mark. He's the same guy who sat on his behind at the DPVA waiting for Tim Kaine to run for something the last 4 years and lost 3 election cycles. I lived through this stuff in the Old Dominion and ran back to Washington, DC, kissed the ground, and got my voter registration card. Apparently DC statehood is too divisive for the democratic platform and we are the DNC's red headed step child. Well, I won't be singing "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny" anytime soon.
