[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what will matter in this election is who can motivate the base to come out and vote.  I'm not seeing Bowser as charasmatic, but that could change.  Catania has a lot of energy, but he can be awfully arrogant. Fenty's problem was that he became not only arrogant with city workers but also with the voters. But I'm a single issue voter - education, and I will vote regardless of a candidate's personality. Not sure how many like-minded education-voters there are out there.  There are so many people throughout this city that want good schools, whether WotP, EotP, or East of the River.  People desperately want to get their kids into schools that are safe and provide for a quality learning environment.  These people may not be the majority of all DC citizens, but they are highly motivated to vote.  It'll be interesting.  I don't think Bowser can sit on the fence and not commit to an educational program.

BTW Gray was going to beat Fenty one way or another.  Fenty lost the election by his disenfranchising attitude.  I voted for him the second time too, but it was only because I thought he would further propel the schools.  Nevertheless, I understand fully why he lost and that's been a big draw-back on education reform.[/quote]

I thought Fenty accomplished a lot, but emotionally he was still young and arrogant.  Catania has grown and matured a lot in office.  I agree that the election will be decided by getting out committed supporters.  I believe that people voted for Bowswer in the primary because they were tired of Gray.  Now he's a lame duck and Bowser is losing support by the week.  Catania can win this contest, and thereby so will parents concerned with their kids' public school education![/quote]
