D.C. Primary 2012: Marion Barry Easily Wins

D.C. Councilmember Marion Barry, a former four-term mayor, easily held off four Democratic challengers for his Ward 8 Council seat.

Barry, 76, has only lost one election in his career - in 1990, after he had been sentenced to six months in federal prison on a drug charge.

In the Democratic primary for an at-large Council seat, Councilmember Vincent Orange held a slim lead over former interim councilmember Sekou Biddle.

With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Orange led by 523 votes, or 1 percentage point.

    This is a sad country to allow criminals to run for office.
