7:34 am
african-americans are no longer a majority in the district. they're a plurality, they're the largest single demographic group, but the city is becomingg more diverse, that is in this is case less black, more whites, wt more asianss and more latinos. it's having a political impact, i think in the middle of thele h city especially you have a lot of young people moving in.g many of them are black, but aa larger number are white, and it is changing sort of the feel ofo the city downtown, and it's 's going to ultimately change thege politics of the city.city. >> interesting. and this is a side note.note. i drive to my old neighborhood,, 13th and missouri avenueri taking one of my daughters to ballet. and the demographics havecs have changed, not necessarily changey to a white are demographic butdo it has changed. it's progress, because anyny change, but it's definitely very interesting. >> yeah, it's a big -- >> yeah. >> i think what we saw and i sa have a column in this morning's paper talking about the sort of

corruption, against the scandals we have seen in the last couple of years. she was the only candidate to refuse to take corporate oror union money.money. she hammered that, but she is is also very liberal. a lot of times, sort of the reformers have been whitewhite conservatives or t as conservative, especially by the district's very liberal libl standards. she was very liberal. she was very liberal a affordable housing. she wants a more progres progrex structure. it appeals to the people coming in, left of center ideologically. to put it in because i can hear the phone calls andcall read the e-mails. to put it in fo historical cont, d.c. was sort of a special, you can tell me if i'm wrong, butwr, different from other cities.
