You should, because flight from the city to the suburbs is making your state a more dangerous place to live every day.

Is Hendrix a "reformer", or is he a different shade of hustler in the Kilpatrick/Coleman Young mold?

So, is Kilpatrick's defeat a sure-thing? Have the people of Detroit had enough of his economic policies and such?

Expect something long the lines of a 59-41 defeat like Hahn in Los Angeles.

he's not of the mold of Kilpatrick/Young.  He was the deputy mayor of Archer.  Hope he does well, but I can't see him being useful because city council is full of dumb &!*@%s

Kilpatrick will most likely bring up the race card and Detroit vs. the suburbs just like Coleman Young did.  Hopefully L. Brooks Patterson will tell him to shut the hell up. This race could get close but I think hendrix will win with around 54-55%.

The Mayor Debate was a few weeks ago. it wasn't on TV but from the paper was very interesting.

the latest poll   Sept 27th
Hendrix    51%
Kilpatrick  32%
undecided  17%
margin of error 4.9%


Some of what Kilpatrick said that caused a controversy

But what drew the lowest, loudest "ooh" from a packed noontime session of the Detroit Economic Club was when Kilpatrick ended the debate by saying that no one in his family, himself included, has ever gotten into trouble with the law. Then he added: "I just wonder if Mr. Hendrix can say the same thing."

The Detroit News researched this and found

Regarding Kilpatrick's remark about Hendrix and his family, The Detroit News checked records in 36th District Court in Detroit and Wayne County Circuit Courts for four immediate Hendrix family members and found none were ever arrested or charged with any criminal activity.

At the same time, The News ran the names of Mayor Kilpatrick's family members through the same process with negative results for all but a Kilpatrick step-brother, Ajene Johnson.

Johnson was charged with misdemeanor aggravated assault in Detroit in an incident involving a girlfriend on May 5, 2003. Details of the incident were not available in 36th District Court because the file could not be located on Friday. The court's docket sheet showed Johnson pleaded guilty in August 2003. He was to return to court a year later, in August 2004 but failed to show up and a bench warrant was issued for his arrest.

The warrant is still outstanding and Johnson forfeited the $3,000 bond he had posted.

and

But Kilpatrick called that a "canned answer" and said the recipe for improving schools is to prepare students for the working world.

"If you want to teach someone character you don't teach them character class," Kilpatrick said. "If you want to show somebody dignity, you don't set up dignity class. I know it sounds good because these savages need it.
But in Birmingham and Bloomfield and all these places, they do more meth, more ecstasy, and they do more acid than all the schools in the city of Detroit put together," he said, triggering gasps from the audience.

which pissed of L. Brooks Patterson and continues the never ending City vs. Suburbs infighting which has plagued regional politics for 30 years

Oakland county executive L. Brooks Patterson's response


"I was insulted by the remarks," said Patterson. "I think this is a candidate who is behind in the polls who will do anything to gain the edge in the debate."

That statement is irresponsible. It is slanderous," Patterson said. "We got a clarification, but that's not good enough. That's not an apology."

The comments were politically motivated, Patterson said, and appear to be an attempt to pull the suburbs into the contentious mayoral race

the second debate is Oct 17th

Down with Kilpatrick!

Archer was a pretty good mayor, actually... in comparison to the despicable excuse for a human being that preceded him.

I care.  I hope all goes well for Detroit.  But we pretty much need a miracle more than we do a good mayor for it to be like in the 60s.

UPDATE!!!!!

the second mayor debate is tonight (for those of you in the Detroit area it's at 8pm on channel 4 NBC)

Also starting last night local channel 4 NBC has been running a special investigation on the alleged infamous Manoogian Mansion (the mayor's residence) wild Party, apparently some new people have come forward with information about the party even though the Attorney General investigation turned up nothing.
