Headline only, just breaking. Doug Ford to run for mayor, other reports indicate that Rob will run for Council.
Doug has been out there fighting for his brother in the campaign for re-election this year.
He’s played the attack role going after his brothers’s adversaries while Rob did the mayor stuff, rehab and softer things.
Doug Ford has been the manager of the election campaign.
People just do not know when to leave the stage
Saves on campaign poster printing costs!
OK, eh, you hoser?
Get well, Rob!
These guys are proof that Canadians don’t need a touque to be entertaining.
It may be worth pinging the list to Freep the 680 poll on whether or not one would support Doug.
Right now, he is at 38.23%, which is about 10 points higher than Rob had been, and in a three-way race potentially sufficient.
Poll at #27
Poll to FReep: http://www.680news.com/
I like these Ford’s better than the Memphis Dem Fords.
Dang, why do politicians with the last name Ford get into so much trouble!!!!!
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Political dynasties and nepotism inevitably represent and invite the corrupt version of democracy.

Sorry-double post
Unfortunately, too often.
Justin Turd-owe is a case in point. The arrogant, leftist, somewhat photogenic progeny of former PM Pierre Turd-owe. Pierre was almost barely tolerable (IMO) but ONLY because he had the intelligence to back up the arrogant swagger. (I had respect for his intellect, if nothing else!) Unfortunately Bebe Turd-owe inherited all the less attractive qualities of both ma and pa. (Ma was a ditzy flower child in the 1960s, a sometime ‘pal’ of Mick Jagger.)
Jusin sounds like any one of hundreds of democrats down here for sure.But I'm curious..."pal"....what kind of pal? I play chess and go to Red Sox games with *my* pals (but not his year).Was she *that* kind of pal? ;-)
Doug Ford is something else. Not sure Rob nation will support him. He is regular political scum in XL package.
Get well, Rob and good riddance with Doug.
Is Doug a drunk like his brother?
I have to question your question.
Rob Ford has done more for the city of Toronto than the last 4 mayors behind him combined.
Anecdotally, Churchill was a drunk, and Hitler didn't drink.
