		<description>Tiger got the crap beat out of him by that big blonde Viking princess he married. He may regret getting hooked up with her - or should I say, hooked by her. I wonder how much of his money she&#039;ll take...</description>

		<description>Many have learned the hard way that in this political climate the support of white gay males over 50 (as a demographic) is kiss of death when it comes to elections. That appears to be the mayor&#039;s primary base, according to THIS poll.</description>

		<description>No need to over think the polls. Let the results speak for themselves in November.

Lines have been drawn in the sand and folks either like or hate the Mayor. That he has polarized the city unnecessarily is going to hurt him badly.</description>

		<description>Lea, Anon-
Another way to look at the &quot;He... fired vast employees...&quot;  thing is he reduced the budgets of DC agencies, and what your taxes would be had those budgets been expanded.
This is a good thing, since we are in a recession and taxes do hurt, and especially since his budgets have all been balanced.  And also especially since roads, schools, crime stats, etc are in better shape than at any time in the past 40+ years.</description>

		<description>&quot;He... fired vast employees...&quot; --Lea

As opposed to half-vast employees? (Just kidding--couldn&#039;t resist ; ^ })

Fenty is in way-y-y-y over his head and has surrounded himself with self-serving incompetents who tell him what he wants to hear.

greed + arrogance = no good outcome</description>

		<description>Exactly why would Chuck Thies who works closely with Graham be helpful to Gray. I cannot wait to see the connection. 


Actually to me the results of the poll were pretty much a duh! 

Many of us including myself wanted Mayor Fenty in office. Although I worked with MAyor Williams. I and others wanted someone who would continue with his engine like way of running the district (which we mistakenly thought was a no brainer) and add a human element. 

Not only was Fenty not that human element we were looking for he was the sum of every negative quality of all the previous mayors. He was aloof (Williams), took part in croynism (Barry) and incopetent to the core (Kelly). 

He closed shelters, fired vast employees (people only remember the teachers), blew budgets, and fell out of compliance with federal dollars. The only thing he was faithful to is his press schedule. 


The Fenty administration thinks good pr replaces good government. And worst he woefully does not understand that is not all it takes. Articles can be written ALONE about how many former straigth out of college --assistant to the assistant he has promoted to heads of department--to the detriment of the organization. He just does not understand what is at stake.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m in San Francisco leading the city workers&#039; protest. We shut down traffic downtown at 5 pm yesterday- 18 arrests - &amp; will do so again today. These protests here - government workers, students, janitors - will spread to the rest of the nation. As long as the right wing prick Obama does nothing for anyone but rich Wall Atreet bankers, we will protest &amp; bring down his government.

If you pussies in DC want a vote, shut down traffic every afternoon. In two weeks you&#039;ll have full rights.

Pussies.

As for those superstitious racist delusional Catholic pricks - that&#039;s why church &amp; state are supposed to be separate. Ban the Catholic Church from DC &amp; nationalize all its property.

Bye bye you dumb add pussies. I&#039;m off to Haight Street to get some medical marijuana.  Bye bye dumb ass pussies.</description>

		<description>Another weighted, worthless, Chuck Thies poll to be sure. LL, CT is not a credible source as others have learned to great embarassment.

Fenty vs. Gray, either way the DC community loses.</description>
