RUN, MAYOR, RUN:

D.C. Mayor Fenty Wins GOP Nomination (Louise Radnofsky, 9/17/10, WSJ)

Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty, who lost the Democratic nomination in Tuesday’s primary, won the Republican nomination as a write-in candidate, the District board of elections said. [...]

The Washington Post had reported before the primary that some GOP members were planning to try to nominate Fenty as their candidate. Asked whether he would accept a GOP nomination, Fenty had said “I’m a Democrat, that is why I wouldn’t run as a Republican.”

A spokeswoman for the mayor did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.
