Poor Alpert – first that embarrassing Gray endorsement, and now this.

Simple. All you have to do is to take away his DC City Council vanity tag. Even when there’s parking he simply cannot seem to park in a normal space. Today he parked on P St. in Dupont during morning rush to get some coffee even though the sign clearly states “No Parking or Stopping” until 9:30. In his neighborhood he always parks in front of the stop sign near his house. He’s a DC baller y’all. Does he conduct city business at his house or in coffee shops? Come to think of it, this being DC, he probably does. Part-time job; full-time attitude.

The way Ken thinks the world works rarely bares much resemblance to reality.

Our best hope is probably that Evans decides to run for DC Attorney General.

On one level the Evans’ campaign can’t be blamed for [more or less] playing by the rules, and using the tools at its’ disposal. At the same time, it’s disappointing they decided to play hardball so quickly against someone who, quite frankly, probably wasn’t a threat to them in the first place.

I doubt that if her fundraising had been up to Evans’ level, she would have backed out so quickly. I imagine she just realized that facing a long-shot candidacy, that this grief wasn’t worth it. That’s a very different calculation than someone who has a legitimate shot at the seat.

Perhaps most annoying is that (I believe) this money just rolls over into the next campaign, making it even harder for the next person to stand a fighting chance against Evans.
