Fenty Supporters Continue Long-Shot Write-In Campaign for Mayor
(Washington Post) — They have been compared to the die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton who refused to give up after then-candidate Barack Obama secured enough votes for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, hardly a compliment in a city where three out of four voters in the primary that year supported Obama over Clinton. But that hasn’t discouraged a small group of Mayor Adrian M. Fenty admirers from campaigning to get voters to write his name on their general election ballots on Tuesday, even though they have little chance of stopping D.C. Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray from being elected mayor.
