I have some serious reservations about things that happened during the Gray campaign. But we also should give credit where credit is due and recognize that some good things have happened under Gray's leadership.

Well said. In my view, the allegations/indictment made against the Gray campaign are among the most serious public corruption charges that can be leveled. More than run of the mill graft (a la Harry Thomas), they attack the electoral process, and impair the ability of the electorate to choose their representatives in a fair election - in essence, they undermine the democratic process itself. (And, I tend to believe there is SOME truth to the allegations, although that's just based on media reports.)

But it does no one any good to pretend that a possibly corrupt politician is also de facto incompetent. Except for Marion Barry. (That was for you, HogWash.)
