Vince Gray Wins DC Primary
The Washington Post reports:
Vincent C. Gray has won the D.C. mayoral race, besting incumbent Adrian M. Fenty, according to unofficial results.
The vote tally just after 1:30 a.m. was Gray by 59,285; Fenty, 50,850.
Earlier, anxious supporters of Mayor Adrian M. Fenty and challenger Vincent C. Gray were crowded into their respective election night headquarters as the first results of the District's democratic primary election began to roll in.
In the Grand Ballroom II of the the Washington Court Hotel, Gray backers cheered as the early returns were posted.
As he watched the news being shown on the big prjection screen Kevin Ellerbe, 47, of Fort Dupont explained his embrace of Gray and his abandonment of Fenty.
"He could have been mayor for life," Ellerbe said of Fenty, "but his arrogance got the best of him. I was one of his supporters."
