The D.C. Democratic mayoral primary is over, and there’s only one thing The List will miss from the campaign: Ron Moten. From that first press conference in a seersucker suit, Moten has been a constant presence in the media and the race’s only reliable source of comic relief. The List asks Moten to look back on the campaign and his role in it.

1. Ron Moten likens this race to a bad relationship

   "You know how good girls like bad guys?" he says, in referring to voters who turned to Gray. "It's like they don't want to be with the person who's good for him, who's done the most for them. ... They'd rather be with someone who isn't a good guy."

2. Ron Moten is upset by the negativity of the campaign

   "What I don't like is it's been more about attacks than the issues."

3. Does Ron Moten think he has been negative?

   "No. I just tell the truth."

4. He isn't sorry for calling Vince Gray a vampire

   "The vampire cartoon...that's the only thing I think about," he says. "But I don't regret it."

5. Ron Moten feels he was framed

   "People have been trying to set me up," he says, claiming that opponents pretended to come to him for a job and then demanded money to see if he would pay them to vote. Sounds paranoid, but at least one person did approach Moten with a similar request in The List's presence.

6. Ron Moten objects to the demonization of children

   Calling it the low point of the race, Moten describes how some young folks in his operation were called thugs. "I don't like to demonize children," he says.

7. It wasn't all bad for Ron Moten

   "Seeing young people vote" was the high point, he says.

8. Ron Moten needs prayer

   "I’m so upset with my elders in Ward 8, I’m going to have to go pray after this. It's going to be hard to forgive them for calling children thugs."

9. Ron Moten has words for Vince Gray

   "Well, I wish him the best of luck because if he fails, the city fails. It's still my city."
