2010 WWE draft
The 2010 World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) draft was the eighth WWE draft, produced by the American professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment. The draft took place over two days: the first day was televised live for three hours on April 26, and the second part, the "supplemental draft", was held on April 27. The first day was broadcast on WWE's Monday night program Raw on the USA Network in the United States, and the supplemental draft was available on WWE's official website. The televised portion was held at Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. During the production of the draft, guest hosts were portrayed as authority figure characters on Raw; however, due to the importance of the event, the draft was run by the WWE management backstage, as are all other WWE programs.


2010 WWE draft
Unlike sports draft lotteries where players are signed to a team, WWE drafts featured the exchanging of employees between WWE's two brands. The 2010 WWE draft marked the fifth time that only the Raw and SmackDown brands were involved; wrestlers along with other WWE personalities from these brands were eligible to be drafted. This was the first draft since 2005 to not feature the ECW brand, due to its disbandment on February 16, 2010. For the televised portion, matches determined which brand received a random draft selection. During the supplemental draft, brand and employee selections were conducted randomly. Based on 2009 regulations, drafted champions took their titles to their new brands, and tag teams were not exempt from being selected. Unlike the previous year's draft where each selection was for only one individual, 2010 featured two instances where at least two employees were drafted in one pick.


2010 WWE draft
Overall, 21 employees from the company's roster were drafted in 19 selections, the fewest in a single night draft show (that featured supplemental drafting) since 2004. Eight selections were made on television (four from each brand), while the supplemental draft saw eleven draft picks (five by Raw and six by SmackDown) that featured 13 draftees. Of the 21 selected personalities, seventeen were males (seven drafted on television) and three were females (one drafted on television).


2010 WWE draft
All but one draftee was a wrestler: The Great Khali's manager Ranjin Singh, who came to Raw in the supplemental draft along with Khali in one draft pick. SmackDown obtained the first draft pick by winning the first match, which resulted in the acquisition of the only drafted female wrestler on television, Kelly Kelly; John Morrison was Raw's first selection after winning the third match. In the supplemental draft, Unified WWE Tag Team Champions The Hart Dynasty (Tyson Kidd and David Hart Smith) were drafted as one selection to Raw, with their valet Natalya Neidhart drafted as a separate pick. In addition to Smith being drafted to Raw, Chavo Guerrero, Montel Vontavious Porter, and Hornswoggle (who were all drafted to SmackDown) were acquired by the brand for which they made their debuts in WWE.


2010 WWE draft, Background
The Brand Extension storyline was initiated in March 2002, in which WWE's Raw and SmackDown television programs were made into brands (similar to conferences within a league) to which employees were assigned to;  the ECW brand additionally involved between 2006 and 2009. Since its inception, annual drafts have followed, except for in 2003. As in previous drafts that followed the Brand Extension, the purpose of the 2010 WWE Draft was to increase television ratings of WWE programming and refresh the rosters with new storylines for each brand.


2010 WWE draft, Background
The 2010 WWE Draft was confirmed both by WWE and Richmond Coliseum via their websites between March and April 2010, which featured the draft eligibility of WWE employees from the Raw and SmackDown brands. The event was scheduled to take place over two days, in which the televised draft would air live on the USA Network in the United States from the Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia on the April 26 episode of Raw. The second portion of the draft, the "supplemental draft," was originally scheduled for April 28; however, it was announced during the live broadcast that it would be held the next day on April 27 with selections being announced via WWE's website.


2010 WWE draft, Roster selections, Televised draft
During Raw, six matches were held among representatives of the two brands to determine which would receive a draft pick; except for one match that was for three selections, the others were for one. Each match featured a wrestler representing their brand; if a wrestler was drafted earlier in the program, they would represent their new brand. After the matches, a computerized system, which appeared on the Raw stage TitanTron, randomly selected a member from the opposing brand's roster for the winning brand.


2010 WWE draft, Response and aftermath
Following the televised draft, Josh Mathews, a commentator and interviewer for WWE, interviewed various wrestlers who switched brands. They included The Big Show, Christian, Kelly Kelly, Kofi Kingston, John Morrison, and R-Truth, who all stated that they viewed their new brands as an opportunity to engage in combat with new competitors and to achieve new success. Based on the 2009 regulations, champions that were drafted would carry their titles with them to their new brand. As opposed to previous drafts, this was the first to not feature a championship exchange brands since 2007.


2010 WWE draft, Response and aftermath
Similar to 2007, no tag teams were affected by the draft since tag teams and stables were drafted to the same brand either as a single draft pick or consisting of several draft picks to a new brand. The two alliances that switched brands were the stable of The Hart Dynasty (Kidd, Natalya, and Smith), in which Kidd and Smith were in unison and Natalya consisted of a separate draft pick, and The Great Khali and Ranjin Singh, who were also drafted as one selection in the supplemental draft.


2010 WWE draft, Response and aftermath
The draft had little effect on the WWE's television ratings. Despite not having direct involvement in the draft, NXT and WWE Superstars were a part of the weekly television lineup for the company and featured wrestlers from both brands. Generally, the ratings of the four shows during the week of the draft were consistent with the ratings of each from the previous week.


2010 WWE draft, Response and aftermath
The ratings for WWE programming the week before the draft were the following: the April 19 episode of Raw was watched by an average of 4.10 million viewers in the first hour and 4.20 in the second hour for an average 3.05 rating, WWE NXT on April 20 was watched by 1.21 million viewers for a 0.90 rating, the April 22 episode of WWE Superstars earned a 0.64 rating,  while the April 23 episode of SmackDown was watched by 3.09 million viewers and earned a 1.8 rating.


2010 WWE draft, Response and aftermath
The draft episode of Raw was watched by 3.90 million viewers in its first hour, 4.99 in its second hour, and 4.98 in its final hour for an average of 3.07 rating. In the normal two-hour time slot for Raw, the show would have received a 3.4 rating. Later that week, WWE NXT was watched by 1,069,000 viewers for a 0.79 rating, WWE Superstars earned a 0.76 rating with 754,000 viewers, and SmackDown was watched by  2,718,000 million viewers for a 1.7 rating.

2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election
Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, 2010 had attracted attention from local media as being one of the top five races to care about statewide, as well as nation attention from politically liberal groups Open Left and People For the American Way. The election resulted in the re-election of incumbent Democrat Marko Liias by a margin of about 9 percentage points.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Primary Election, First Challenger
Marko Liias's first challenger in the top-two primary was Republican Elizabeth Scott. Scott first publicly considered running after speaking at a Tax Day, April 15, 2009 rally in Everett, WA, where hundreds protested large government bailouts, debt, spending and taxes. On July 4, Scott announced her candidacy for 21st Legislative District State Representative, position 2. On Sunday, August 23, 2009, her expected campaign launch was reported in the Everett Herald regional newspaper. By April 2010, Scott had raised over $20,000, received many grassroots volunteers and attracted media attention for her fundraising efforts. Liias called Scott's candidacy "serious" and branded her grassroots supporters a "mob" in a fundraising email.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Primary Election, A Crowded Primary
When Alan Tagle entered the race as a second Republican candidate, local GOP leadership expressed unfamiliarity with Tagle and endorsed Scott, who pointed to her key endorsements from other GOP leaders. During filing week, Mike Huisman of the self-styled SeniorSide Party emerged as a fourth candidate. As of July 22, 2010, Scott had raised $43,033.17, Liias $75,052.28, Tagle $675, and Huisman $0. In the top-two primary, Scott and Liias easily advanced with 32.6 and 50.1%, respectively.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, General Election
On October 7, the progressive group Open Left reported that the politically liberal advocacy group People For the American Way had given financial support to state legislators Liias and Mike Frerichs of Illinois, and singled out those state legislators to receive special attention and financial support. By October 16, Liias had raised $131,580.09 and spent $111,548.08, while Scott had raised $80,841.15 and spent $59,242.67. Seattle Gay News called the race one of the five races across the state to care about. Liias won reelection with 54% of the vote, though Scott won more votes than any Republican candidate for the district since 2000.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Attack Sites, Primary Attacks
An attack site emerged in June which accused Scott of being a "carpetbagger", "career union soldier" and "not a real conservative". Tagle accused Liias supporters of posting that site and another site which condemned Tagle for running a bikini barista. Liias denied the charge while Scott and local GOP leaders suggested that Tagle was behind the first attack site. After Scott and Liias won the primary, both attack sites were closed down.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Attack Sites, Marko Madness
After the primary, a group called Red Snohomish PAC, led by Liias's 2008 election opponent Andrew Funk, put up a site called . The site, as described by the local media,


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Attack Sites, Marko Madness
has a March-madness basketball tournament-type bracket with competition among what it says are flaws in Liias’ personal, financial or political background. Each week, it highlights two of those flaws. The site asks readers to choose which of the two should advance to semi-final competition, with the semi-final winners advancing to a final, from which one will be selected for a campaign commercial.


2010 Washington's 21st Legislative District, House 2 election, Attack Sites, Marko Madness
The form was like that of the Elite 8 bracket in March Madness. Liias responded by adding a section called "Curing Marko Madness" to his website with the comment, "The best cure for Marko Madness is a dose of the truth." While Liias has told Scott to call for a stop to the site, Scott stated the site was unconnected to her campaign. As one local media outlet summarized, "Scott and Liias have each accused the other of violating a pledge to run clean campaigns based on issues."


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election
The Washington, D.C. mayoral election of 2010 took place on Tuesday, November 2, 2010. The primary elections occurred on September 14, 2010. Vincent Gray won the general election by a wide margin, although many voters wrote in incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty, whom Gray defeated in the primary.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Early polls showed incumbent Mayor Adrian Fenty was not widely supported. On January 31, 2010, The Washington Post reported the results of a voter survey which showed that Fenty's job approval rating was at an all-time low of 42 percent. His support among African-American voters dropped to 29 percent from 68 percent, while his support among whites dropped to 57 percent from 78 percent. More than four in 10 voters doubted his honesty, empathy, and openness.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Despite this lack of support Adrian Fenty's 2010 mayoral campaign was able to raise a record amount of money. On July 31, 2009, prior to Vincent Gray entering the race, Fenty's campaign had already exceeded its 2006 primary fundraising total of $2.4 million. By August 2010, Fenty had raised $4.7 million and Gray had raised only $1.3 million, though later it would be revealed that the Gray campaign was also running a $668,800 shadow campaign financed by Jeffery Thompson.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Council Chairman Vincent C. Gray officially entered the mayoral race on March 30, 2010, after long anticipation and speculation about his entrance. Running on the slogan "One City. Leadership We Need", Gray proclaimed that "DC can do better" to a crowd gathered at the Reeves Center the day of his announcement. Some voters complimented Fenty for improvements in the District since he took office, while other voters criticized him for his aloof style. Some voters believed that as mayor, Gray would bring fiscal mismanagement and poor city services that existed in the early 1990s while he worked for the District government.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
In his State of the District speech, Fenty noted improvements in students' test scores and a record-low homicide rate. Fenty also discussed the new psychiatric hospital at St. Elizabeths, new housing for homeless people, and a new recreation center in Deanwood. Fenty contrasted the improvements in the District under his administration with the high crime rate and low school test scores in the 1990s. Fenty also highlighted nearly a dozen new housing projects he facilitated that brought about 11,000 affordable apartments to the District. Finally, Fenty pointed to the new supermarkets and restaurants that have opened in Wards 7 and 8 during his administration.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
During an interview, Chancellor of the District of Columbia Public Schools system Michelle Rhee said that she "could not imagine doing this job without the kind of unequivocal support" from Mayor Fenty. During another interview, Rhee said that Fenty "has not disappointed me one time in the last three years. I would not work under a mayor who was not focused on education in the same way, as dedicated to making some of the really difficult decisions. I think the chairman is certainly interested in education reform. I think that he...is committed to this city and its progress, certainly.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
But in terms of what I'm talking about with Mayor Fenty and his willingness to make some very difficult decisions, that though may have been unpopular with the adults, they are absolutely the right thing to do for the kids and for the system, no, I haven't seen the same thing with the chairman." Nonetheless, Rhee and Fenty were unpopular with teachers and so Gray benefited greatly from the support of the teachers unions.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Gray's campaign released an education plan, which included holding teachers accountable for student performance and paying them accordingly, strengthening the office of the deputy mayor for education, increasing infant and toddler care, and giving a tax credit for child and dependent care. Gray said he would keep Rhee's reforms in place as mayor, but Gray did not said whether he would retain Rhee as chancellor.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Fenty criticized Gray for his record as director of the Department of Human Services during former mayor Sharon Pratt's administration. During a local radio show in July 2010, Fenty criticized Gray for mismanaging the Department of Human Services . Gray responded to the criticism, saying that he enacted several improvements as director, including in the area of homelessness.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
Leo Alexander, meanwhile, criticized Fenty for allowing teachers to be fired, and he criticized Gray for doing nothing to stop the firings as Council Chair. Alexander said that both Gray and Fenty both want to keep the District generally the same as it is now. Gray responded that the Council had no authority to stop the firings, but Alexander recalled that former Council Chair John Ray had successfully done so during former mayor Marion Barry's administration. Alexander also blamed businesses who hire illegal immigrants for the District's unemployment rate.


2010 Washington, D.C. mayoral election, Democratic primary
On September 15, 2010, voters went to the polls and the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics reported unofficial results, with Gray receiving 53 percent of the vote compared to Fenty's 46 percent. Gray won as much as 80% of the vote in predominantly black areas east of the Anacostia River, but did poorly in the city's wealthier northwest, winning just 13% in one Georgetown precinct.
