Hungover or not, parties must go on The morning after the


primary, Dems and GOP strive to look refreshed


by Manuel Roig-Franzia and Jason Horowitz


On the morning after, in the cap- ital of electioneering, you’ve got to say, “I love you, voters.” Or some- thing like that. No matter what. So, Michael Steele bounded onto


a bus painted Republican red, with awink to the middle by choosing a bipartisan purple shirt. And in an- other part of the District, Tim Kaine unveiled a new Democratic logo by unleashing college kids long-tossing T-shirts to a chirpy pop-music beat. In a city that loves its rituals, the regional rivals who happen to run the national party committees reli- giously observed the post-primary rites of next-day spin, a timeless tradition that grows gaudier with each passing tweet, blog post and instant message. The dueling spec- tacles set in motion by Mr. Mary- land — Steele’s a former lieutenant governor — and Mr. Virginia —

Hawaii’s aloha spirit being tested in primary


Ugly Democratic race for governor raising race, diversity issues


by Jason Horowitz


honolulu — In an empty, ca- pacious room in the Neil Aber- crombie for Governor headquar- ters, the candidate stood behind a lectern to tape a Web video warn- ing against the “forces of intoler- ance” that had gathered upon the isles of aloha. “Hawaii,” said Abercrombie,


wearing a clipped white beard, pressed blue blazer and red pow- er tie, “was and is a place defined by its diversity.” It is that hopeful notion of Ha- waii that helped shape President Obama’s early impressions of race and identity — what he has called “What’s best in me, and what’s best in my message.” That in- clusive aloha spirit is also now at the center of an unusually ugly Democratic primary that has cap- tured the full attention of Hawai- ians and churned up the very questions that Obama has grap-

You are entering a Gray era. Hard-bodied hard-liner Adrian M. Fenty, 39, botched his bid for mayoral reelection, losing out in the Democratic primary to Vincent C. Gray, 67, the D.C. Council chairman with the old-dude glasses. There’s only one way to grapple with such a psychic swish pan: Make a special- edition List. Out with the young and in with the new.

Trilogy of short plays maps conflicts over Afghan soil


At Harman Center, 12 dramatists’ works view ‘The Great Game’


by Nelson Pressley Three years ago Nicolas Kent


observed that artists in England and the United States weren’t cre- ating much about the war in Af- ghanistan. As the artistic director of what is often regarded as Lon- don’s leading political theater, Kent knew he could commission a play on the topic. “But one play wouldn’t really


raise a debate,” Kent says. So he recruited a coalition of


willing playwrights whose dozen dramas are playing together as “The Great Game: Afghanistan,” a three-part event that rolled into the Shakespeare Theatre Com- pany’s Harman Center Wednesday night, launching a limited U.S. tour. Kent’s gambit turned out to be a hit last year for his Tricycle Thea- tre, a troupe that produces musi- cals and conventional plays but has become best known for “ver- batim” dramas — civic-minded pieces with dialogue drawn from first-hand interviews. (“Guantána- mo: Honor Bound to Defend Free- dom” came from Tricycle; so did the antic “The 39 Steps.”)
