Cropp says she welcomes the mayor's visible assistance her campaign officials say Williams has been asked to campaign for her, as long as he's in town. Williams aides say the mayor might take a Caribbean vacation over the traditionally busy Labor Day weekend. (WJLA)
Good to see Mayor Williams has his priorities in order. (That's said without any sarcasm, by the way. Taking a Caribbean vacation should always trump stumping for candidates, especially ones who are sucking in the polls.)
I've never really understood the unholy marriage of Williams and Cropp that's developed ever since he gave her his endorsement. Did the man not pay attention during the whole baseball thing? At least Fenty made no secret about trying to derail the deal. Cropp stabbed Williams in the back, dressed the wound when he complained, and then happily stabbed him again when he turned back around.
My theory is that Williams knows there's a least a chance that Fenty could turn out to be a good mayor, and manage to overshadow his accomplishments (however limited they might be). With Cropp, that threat obviously doesn't exist.

Pulleeze! Mayors Williams has made it abundantly clear that Fenty would be a disaster as Mayor. "Dumb as a pile of rocks" was a quote I recently heard.
Furthermore, he said as recently as Wednesday that Cropp would be a great Mayor.
Wouldn't it be great to have a Mayor who knew what she was doing from the moment she took office rather then some vague idea that an obscure councilmember might (or might not) be able to master the job. Reminds me of the old line about being governor of Texas being adequate background to be POTUS. Let Adrian Fenty do to DC what George Bush did to America.
The prospect is frightening.
"Wouldn't it be great to have a Mayor who knew what she was doing"
It sure would be. Let me know when such a candidate enters the race.
