After President Obama was re-elected last night, D.C. voters celebrated outside the White House and on U Street NW.

We had mentioned last week that yesterday was the last day for D.C. voters to switch party affiliation in time to vote in the September 14 Democratic primary. The Washington Post reports today that nearly 2,600 voters in the District have made that change in 2010. Based on preliminary reports, the District’s Board of Elections and Ethics notes that 2,068 “no party” voters, 308 Republicans and “several hundred” Statehood Green party members had switched affiliations between the beginning of 2010 and yesterday.

Look at you, Vince Gray! A sprawling economic plan wasn’t the only thing that Gray unveiled recently — a new haircut, (slightly more) modern frames, and some new suits are all part of the mayoral candidate’s attempt to look a little bit more youthful during the stretch run of his campaign against an incumbent who is 28 years his junior.
