After it was determined that he won the Republican nomination for mayor early this morning, everyone was wondering about Mayor Adrian Fenty’s chances of running on the GOP ticket, whether he’d fare any better a second time around and what it might say about our city. Well, so much for that speculation: the Board of Elections and Ethics now says that Fenty couldn’t accept the Republican nomination even if he wanted to, since he was not registered with the party on Primary Day. Originally, it was believed that Fenty would have until 4:45 p.m. today to decide whether or not to run.
