He is picking up his petitions as we speak.

| He must be joking. |

| He could win. I'm not sure how anyone things they can win in such a crowded field. |

UGHHH
Will probably be reelected by the same people who keep reelecting Marion Barry. |

| Yes, he can win. I still don't know what to think about his campaign but aside from that still unresolved issue he's done a decent job of running the city. And I'd rather have him as mayor than almost all of the other candidates and maybe I will end up voting for him. |

Oh and it's going to be one hell of a mayoral election. I don't know whether it will be so bizarre as to be actually fun or whether I just will want to crawl into bed and pull the covers over my head. With so many candidates running, we could end up with a real doozey in the mayor's office. |

| I didn't vote for him the first time, but will seriously consider him this time. He's shown a pretty steady hand after a really rocky start. I was impressed with his handling of the continuing resolution fiasco. I'm keeping an open mind for sure. |

| I think it makes the primary into a referendum on Gray, and with at least six candidates splitting the NO vote, I suspect he has a pretty good chance of winning the primary. The real beneficiary of this may be David Catania. |

Agree, I am impressed with how he is running the city; his sustainability focus has been very impressive for example. But mainly, he has done the right things, continued or improved on some of Fenty's good ideas as well, but with an ability to not piss people off the way Fenty did. I honestly believe he was talked into running against Fenty and didn't have a clear sense of how the campaign was being run. |

Wake up : Grey is part of a movement to gut every historic district, pack it with cheep pop ups and add on conversions, raise the height limit in the city and does not give a rats ass about the realities on the ground.( all my opinion, of course) Oh yeah, they just wont issue any more parking stickers for all the condos they are building and then see how that works to discourage car buring, or not later…. Grey has gutted the Urban Forrestry Bill , rewriting it so that there is no such thing as a "special tree" in the District . Don't like that 250 year old Oak, well, just pay $35/inch of circumference and come on down to and get your permit to cut it down. No Problem.
These aren't his "ideas" , he's just the front man ( imho) for the pay masters behind his campaign: the Builder's Association of the District of Columbia. New title fees cha ching… they really don't care what DC looks like people or whetehr there is anywhere to park. All these politicos care about is tehir campaign fund. ( imho) |

Then for your sake, let's hope the federal grand jury weighing his indictment for election fraud remains as "open minded" as you are. Sad: some people are so "open minded" that their brain falls out. D.C. Deserves leadership far less corrupt and far more competent than Grey. |

Let's do a quick (and very non-scientific) survey:
Which of Gray, Bowser, Evans, Orange, Wells, Lewis or Shallal will you vote for in the primary if you're a DC Dem, and if you're a DC voter, how would you vote for each vs Catania? To start things off, I lean Bowser in the primary and she's probably the only one I might pick over Catania. |
