@Fred Assuming that Gray wins, it will be interesting to see if he will stand up to his hard-core supporters who want to turn back the clock to the era of non-accountable schools and other government services.

While it can be argued that Fenty played a part in fixing (at least somewhat) the school system, he did it by (1) hiring Michelle Rhee and (2) being lucky enough to come in as mayor afterGray and other councilmembers (and the preceeding mayor, Tony Williams) wrested control of the schools from the School Board. As for the other services, I don't know if I see any improvement there that wasn't already in evidence before Fenty came in. And some agencies are actually worse off in terms of how their going to continue providing their services ... especially now that little has been left in the kitty to pay for things. Sorry, I don't mean to beat a dead horse. But it's time we started looking how to correct the mistakes of the last 4 years. We need to stop looking back and start looking forward.
