DC DUers -- who should be the next Mayor?
I was leaning toward Fenty, mostly because he seems to be running an aggressive campaign and because he got the Washington Post endorsement. But I just saw Linda Cropp's advertisement with Anthony Williams, whom I like a lot, and now I'm wondering if I should support her instead.

Does anyone know who you're going to vote for tomorrow? I have a feeling I won't decide until I get into the voting booth. Any guidance would be appreciated.

1. Fenty is my choice.
He impresses me as someone who would give you the shirt off his back and beat the shit
out of anyone who does anything to hurt you.

Kind of like Bill Clinton.

Just my observation.

2. Fenty
I agree with a lot of the criticsm of Cropp being a little bit too establishment.

3. Johns
Cropp is too establishment and I don't trust her one bit. Fenty is ambitious but too young. I would go with Marie Johns. The district needs a different leadership style that will bring better services to the city. Fenty is my second choice.

4. *shrug* I can live with Fenty
I liked Johns, but I'm not shedding any tears over this.
