Mayor Adrian Fenty, who appeared to have it all when he swept into office four years ago — the support of every precinct in the city and at 36, a seemingly bright political future ahead of him — lost it all early Wednesday when he came up short against challenger D.C. Council Chairman Vince Gray.
With 90 percent of precincts counted, Gray led Fenty 59,285 votes to 50,850. There are also still about 12,000 provisional ballots to be verified and tallied.
