(First post!!! ... ahem.)
assuming your reply is sarcasm...
Can someone from Michigan shed some light on this? If Obama doesn't jump-in to support KK, will turned-off black voters stay home? Is there a real chance McCain/Palin could take MI?
I think it's already been posted that Obama said Kilpatrick should step down...AFTER the plea deal was entered. Courageous of him, wasn't it? / sarc
There's a huge cleanup that needs to be done in the next two weeks. All of Kwamilla Gorilla's appointees have to leave office and it'll be up to incoming mayor Cockrel to reappoint them, if he wants.
The wild card in this mess is truly wild -- Monica Conyers. She who has called the incoming mayor "Shrek," she who threw a tantrum at the Democratic convention, Lady Voldemort who spits venom at "the little people" for fun and profit, will now be president of the City Council.
Outstate Michigan and even most Detroiters are sick of this, but I don't think they're going to tie it to Obama. What really needs to be hammered home is that Barry BOYCOTTED the state, didn't want our primary votes and voluntarily pulled his name from the ballot. Barry needs his nose rubbed in THAT.
