This is probably the start of DC purging its deadwood. I fully expect Vincent Gray to face serious competition and lose in 2014. Another poster said it bluntly that DC votes on "race and rhetoric". What you saw in 2010 was the last gasp of the "older generation" of DC politics fighting back against the inevitable gentrification of the city. Rightly or wrong Gray represents that old mindset that permeated DC government in the 1970s and 1980s. In 2010 that electorate showed up but the long-term demographics aren't in their favor. Every year more young and affluent people move into the city, while that older generation leaves or moves to the suburbs.
