You can remove the namespace while reading the file, just disable the namespaces on the XmlTextReader:

var request = (HttpWebRequest) WebRequest.Create(address);
var response = (HttpWebResponse) request.GetResponse();
var stream = response.GetResponseStream();

if(stream != null)
{
   var xmlReader = new XmlTextReader(stream);
   xmlReader.Namespaces = false;
   var xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
   xmlDocument.Load(xmlReader);
   var node = xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("RateQuote");
}

After that you don't have to care about the namespace while using XPath / LINQ on your XML-elements.
