Barry, meanwhile, was the star of the day.

Although the former mayor reported paltry contributions to his campaign fund, he somehow managed to find a line of new minivans to take voters to the polls. There also were hundreds of Barry T-shirts, including one worn by his former wife Effie, who divorced him after his drug and perjury trial.

About 6 p.m., Barry arrived at Hendley Elementary School in the ward's biggest precinct. Over a loudspeaker, a campaign aide called out: "Help is on the way, brothers and sisters! He's back, folks. Marion Barry. He is back."

Supporters shouted and screamed their approval. Barry's campaign treasurer, Vanessa Robinson, could barely contain her joy.
