As of the 2000 Census, your states (And DC) under 1,000,000 total population
Why are all these states more deserving than DC?
Hell, you don't have to give them a states rights, just let them caucus with Virginia or Maryland to get a vote.

East of the river is Maryland, West is Virginia. DC is on both sides of the River |
Just so you know, the part you mention on the Virginia side is actually Arlington County, Virginia. It was given back in the 1850's (or thereabouts), so DC is now completely on the Maryland side.
Personally, I think DC should be it's own state, as long as they agree to take Montgomery and Prince George's counties as well to get them the hell out of Maryland
