With apologies to John for the title of this entry, we’re at five candidates for DC Mayor as of yesterday when Michael Brown officially declared himself a candidate for Mayor of the District. Of course, we still have yet to hear from DC Mayor Anthony Williams whether or not he will run. That would make an even half dozen slugging it out for the helm of this wacky city-state.
No word yet if the winner of the race will be pilloried by Mark Plotkin for not fighting hard enough for the District’s right to have representation actually mean something in Congress.
Or if any of the candidates will get Tony Blair’s endorsement like last time. Of course, anything can happen…
Perhaps Linda Cropp might like to reconsider her mayoral run now that Marion Barry might be running for her Council Chair seat?
Oh this one promises to be a wacky, wacky race.
