Apparently even Holmes Norton and most of the DC leadership is putting the statehood issue on the backburner, because they reason they don't have support for it. But the problem is, when will they ever have this level of support for it? Republicans will oppose DC statehood if they can because it would add two Democratic senators to the total.

I support DC statehood -- it's the easiest solution, and it will pass constitutional muster. Retrocession to Maryland would be acceptable to, but it has very little public support in both DC and Maryland.
