When Will DC Become Competitive?

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

In 2008 17,367 DC residents voted Republican.  In 2012 that number increased to 21,381.  That's almost a 25% increase!  Also, the city has been getting whiter in recent years.

How long until DC becomes competitive?  When will they elect a Republican mayor?  When will they vote for a Republican President?  Pat Buchanan is from DC, maybe he could win the district.

John Huntsman is a moderate candidate that will have significant crossover support.  Maybe if he chooses Buchanan as his running mate (home state advantage obviously) they could win some precincts and make Clinton spend money to defend the district.

I think this ticket could win 700 electoral votes.

Add the Moon Colony's 245 electoral votes (voted 99% for Huntsman because of Newt Gingrich's endorsement) and you get:

Huntsman (R-UT)/Buchanan (R-DC): 700 Electoral Votes
Clinton (D-NY)/Castro (D-TX): 83 Electoral Votes
