Gray's defeat of Fenti in DC Mayoral primary makes Rhee's future questionable..

A big question now is what will happen to DC Public Schools Chancellor Michelle Rhee, the controversial reformer who's largely seen in the same way Fenty is -- results-oriented but brusque. Tonight, we hear word that Gray briefly touched on the matter at his victory party, pledging "...a strong, empowered chancellor who works with parents and teachers." The emphasis on the "with" tells me that Rhee doesn't have much of a future in the Gray administration. (Previously, Gray had told the Post "We'll see," when asked about Rhee's future.)

1. Rhee will be gone very soon.
She was one of the main drags on Fenty's popularity with the voters, a primary reason to vote against him.

Gray won't keep her.
