at least chevy chase is closer than . . .

Grosvenor-Strathmore, where Steele held a Purple Line press conference earlier the other day:
"This is where they told me to come . . . I'm not trying to draw any distinction between inner and outer. I'm focused on the Purple Line." - Michael Steele on a failed Purple Line media event
Doesn't anyone know where the Purple Line goes? Anyone running for elected office, at least?

UPDATE: Video! (thanks to MoCoPolitics for the heads-up.) You can see the B.S. falling from Steele's mouth as he's grilled by the press . . .

What does "1.2 billion dollars of opportunity" mean? Is this looking at the possible Purple Line cost more from a profit-making opportunity for construction companies standpoint than from a how do we improve transporation for everyone standpoint?

Just how much (or little) transit does that $1.2 Billion buy?

It's good to see that these candidates are getting grilled for this insanity. All it takes is 4 magic cities folks: Bethesday, Silver Spring, College Park, New Carrolton. I can see all four of them benefiting greatly as transit hubs.
