Saving the best for last: When Kwame Kilpatrick became mayor he hadn't run anything before. The newspapers both endorsed him, both times. So did the same business people who are endorsing Duggan. They propped Kilpatrick up, swore to Detroiters that there was no one better than him to run in his second election, gave him a ton of money in the last weeks of that election to pull victory out of his opponent's hand and then paid him to leave town when he just couldn't hide his sins any longer.

People need to just think for themselves. Go with intelligence, wisdom and integrity, it will outweigh experience in the mayor's office.
What are you smoking? When Kwame ran a second time, the Freep and News endorsed Hendrix.

The first time around he actually looked somewhat promising, and who were we going to vote for, GIL HILL?
