To date, much of the talk of the District mayoral race has been guesses and assumptions. While no one has the numbers to back it, the common wisdom is that Adrian Fenty and Linda Cropp are leading the charge, with third place a toss-up between Vincent Orange and Marie Johns (even though Orange claims the race is between him and Cropp). Today that may change.

The Ward 6 Democrats are hosting a mayoral forum and straw poll today, the latter of which may finally give us a insight into where the candidates stand in terms of popular support. Both events kick off at 7 p.m. at Eastern High School (located at East Capitol Street and 18th Street, SE), though only registered Ward 6 Democrats will be allowed to participate in the poll.

DCist will likely stop in to see how far that candidates and their talking points have come since the last time we braved a mayoral forum. In the meantime, we’re offering up our own completely un-scientific poll. If the election were held today, whom would you choose as mayor of D.C.?
