Mayor Fenty

What has felt inevitable over the past several weeks became reality. So, as Jim Graham said, we can look forwad to the excitement of the unknown in the Fenty administration.

It would appear that Fenty grabbed and swallowed the undecided vote. Possibly his troops turned out in greater numbers than the fatigued Cropp crew.

I'm sure Mr. Fenty is a good man with good intentions. But he won on style and image, not on substance and the good people of DC just gave him a mandate to do, well, what? Something new. That's a big blank check -- let's hope we're not surprised when it's drawn.

In the meantime, Mayor-t0-be Fenty, congratulations and good luck. Based on some of your campaign promises, btw, I expect you to over here to clean out my garage later this week. Don't forget to set out the trash. Oh, and by the way, consider appointing Linda Cropp to be your Public Education Czar. I hear she has a great, specific plan to help DC Public Schools.
