The thought of things to come in 2010 brought on a headache. Six D.C. Council members seek re-election while Chairman Vincent C. Gray contemplates a run against Mayor Adrian M. Fenty. A parcel of wannabes also is in the ring; no need to provide individual names now.
Expect plenty of recriminations, investigations and pontification. All of that will be televised ad nauseum. If watching those joint council round-tables into contracting at the D.C. Housing Authority or Fenty’s movable feast of news conferences in 2009 didn’t satisfy your taste for political mundanity, minutiae and drama, by the time local primaries roll around in September, I promise you’ll be pleading to eliminate cable channels 13 and 16.
