So does THIS mean he has to step down as Mayor? This will qualify him to run for Governor.

Kilpatrick text scandal case. Notice how they reduce this massive corruption to a "text scandal case."

If he’s pleading guilty to a felony then he has to step down.

I thought I just heard the other day he went to the State Supreme Court and asked them to remove the Governors suit and set aside her action? Guess it didn’t work.

Smart move.
He was busted , plain and simple.
This way he can preserve a place for himself back in the Democrat party when he gets out of jail.

Worthy had offered him two previous deals...the first included 120 days in jail...he refused...the second offer included 180 days in jail...I think he might have gotten the hint that the longer he refused the worse it would be for him.

Bad news for Barack Obama
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZNvC_-RW2Q
IT GETS WORSE:
Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm says “it would be incredibly cynical and wrong” for the GOP to take advantage of the scandal surrounding Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who has been charged with conspiracy, perjury, obstruction of justice, misconduct in office, and felony assault.
Kilpatrick is a Democratic super-delegate whom Barack Obama has praised as “doing an outstanding job”
So Barack is off limits on scandals.. He just made himself fair game
