Because the city is so heavily registered with the Democratic Party the mayorial race will be determined soley by the Democrats in the city. And provided none of the candidates pulls a Lieberman it’s pretty much a given on November 7th who the next mayor for DC will be. I’m hoping for Fenty but I have a horrid gut feeling that Cropp will win. As an Independent (I’m not complaining) there is no role for me to play on the 12th. The things I have been able to do is share my opinion and give money (I could have volunteered).
However, there are several reasons to get out and vote November 7th. Well for people fed up with their Single Member District ANC, 11/7 would be their chance to change… or not. There are At Large Council Seats and the School Board.
So if you can, vote.
