Why Virginia? I would think that you would shift this to Maryland since only the Maryland contribution for DC was actually used because of your enjoyment of history. I would not think that you would be thinking in strategic terms of pushing Virginia more into the blue (with Maryland pretty much solid blue already). The only other consideration I could think of is that you think DC is more similar to its Virginia suburbs than the Maryland counterparts. For this I'd think it depends one where in DC (and the suburbs) one goes and I could very well have a skewed perspective that the Virginia side is just too new (again perspective) to be representative.but I proposed an alternative: for the purposes of Senate and Presidential elections make their vote part of Virginia- that way they would effectively have a Senator and impact on the electoral college without being an actual state.
ETA: And you left this at the federal level so I ignored (and still am) where the DC vote might have the most impact on the state level. For federal level I think the "strategic" piece deals with where the DC vote would have the most impact in making VA bluer.
