Even though the talk of someone taking on Mayor Adrian Fenty in the 2010 mayoral contest has been mostly idle chatter to date, a familiar face might be ready to take him on.

If District pols know two things, it's that Mayor Adrian Fenty is an accomplished cyclist and an accomplished fundraiser. It's really not a good idea to challenge him at either.

We're not even done with this election cycle, and already we have to look forward to the next one. Over the weekend D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty filed the necessary paperwork to run for re-election in 2010. Here's Fenty's statement, via D.C. Wire:

"The time has come to engage the residents of the District of Columbia about the future of the city and the leadership that will represent them moving forward," Fenty began. "We are proud of the progress we've made over the past 22 months, whether its beginning the critical reform of DCPS or bringing more development into our great neighborhoods. We cannot rest on the improvement we've fostered thus far and will continue to work with all residents to make the District a world class city."

Not a huge surprise that Fenty will run again, but now that we know his plans are a certainty, we can start to speculate about who might challenge him! Fenty remains a popular mayor across the city, but there are certainly a couple members of the D.C. Council who have developed anti-Fenty postures. Do you think Fenty will have any serious opponents in 2010?
