Tim Day, the Republican candidate for Ward 5’s D.C. Council seat, hosted a “meet and greet” at Brookland’s San Antonio Bar & Grill last night. This blogger stopped by to check in on the longshot’s campaign.

Upon finding the right room, the candidate approached with an awkward, but courteous, “Can I help you?” It seems Day is still learning how to “work the room” like a back slapping pol. I almost felt like he was suspicious of me. That’s no way to put a potential voter at east to consider his spiel.
