I might vote for a Republican
for our at large city council race. He's a bicycling-advocate, pro gay marriage, pro choice and is running a really aggressive outreach campaign.
Because DC isn't actually allowed to run itself we have two city council seats set aside for non-majority party members. So this guy's opponents include two former Democrats who switched their registration to Independent, the incumbent R who lost in the primary and is running as a viable write in candidate and the Statehood Green Party candidate.

Re: I might vote for a Republican
I usually vote Repub on local levels. I live in the Philadelphia area and the Dem party has been in power here for too long and has too little to show for it.
This is hardly the first time I'll vote for an R, when I lived in IL I regularly voted for R's at the local level, because I personally knew the candidates. I just find this one funny because he's so stridently pro gay marriage and pro choice that in many parts of the countries Dem politicians would run away from him, I can't even imagine the Republican party response in most jurisdictions!
Sue--do you think he can win? My husband and I have been arguing about this. He's convinced an R can't win this year. But Michael Brown can't win anything, man's been running for city council it seems like forever. And I highly doubt Mark Long can get it, nor Carol's write in campaign (although as Tony Williams and Marion Barry proved, the write in campaign can work, at least in DC).
I honestly don't know. ?I've seen so many signs for him, I feel like he must have good support. ?I don't think Carol's write-in campaign stands a chance.?
