D.C. Mayor Loves Obama

By wt

Slate's Josh Levin went to vote in D.C. today, where Mayor Adrian Fenty accosted him within the no-electioneering zone and told him to vote for Obama.

When Levin called the campaign, he talked to Fenty's press secretary. I love her reaction:

Fenty?s press secretary, Dena Iverson, told me that the mayor would be out all day today encouraging District residents to vote for Obama.

When told that the mayor had been encouraging this reporter right next to a pair of ?no electioneering? signs, Iverson sighed, ?Oh, great.?

She continued, ?The only other polling place I saw him at, he was doing it outside the signs. I will make sure he will not accidentally cross any lines he?s not supposed to.?

What a friendly press secretary.
