Detroit Mayor Election

[Cashcow]

where is the detroit airport in relation to the city itself?

ive flown in and out of there several times.  it appears to be a suburban area.

i will be in the mi tomorrow evening, en route to the bay state.

yes it is in the city of Romulus (see map in my post)

It would be more accurate to say that Romulus is in the Detroit Wayne County Airport. That thing is huge... over half the size of the city.

Detroit is pretty bad. I cant get seconds out of my car before getting hit up for money

the election is tuesday Kilpatrick has cut Hendrix lead to 10% from 19%.
Hendrix has been running attack ad's for the last 2 weeks.  Kilpatrick's ads have been split between postive and negative.  One of his ads is of concern and could help Kilpatrick shows Hendrix having the police throw out of a school board meeting, a woman who is outraged because the state is taking over the schools.  When the state took over the schools this was a huge issue opposed by most people in the city.

Also Full-page ads in two weekly newspapers targeting the black community depict a historic lynching while contending that Kilpatrick is "the most recent victim of media lynching in Detroit." They show photographs of three white newspaper columnists, including Brian Dickerson of the Free Press, and a radio talk-show host, who have criticized some of the mayor's actions. The ad is headlined "Lynching is still legal in America."

and a group supporting kilpatrick has been handing out pictures of Coleman Young (Detroit's first black mayor who was  very popular) and on the back shows endorsements fro each candidate but it says that Oakland county (suburban upper middle class and white) executive L. Brooks patterson has endorsed hendrix which is false.

 The latest exclusive Local 4-Survey USA poll found challenger Freman Hendrix leading incumbent Kwame Kilpatrick 49 to 46 percent.

Hendrix is going to win anywhere from 51-61 points.

Well, this was good news for Michigan Republicans.

They can (to some extent) use Kilpatrick as the poster boy for Michigan Democrats.

Why? He's only the Mayor of Detroit. I'll admit he's not my kind of Democrat

Granholm likes Hendrix better than Kilpatrick. The democratic party should not even associate with him.

[Dave from Michigan]

 Granholm will not go near Kilpatrick it would be nothing but trouble.  The last thing she needs is a nother "memo" to come out.   I also doubt she will help Detroit bailing them out would be very very unpopular in the suburbs which most have their own financal problems.  She also won't let the state takeover Detroit which would be very unpopular in Detroit which she needs to win reelection.   If things get worse in Detroit she could be in some trouble.

1.Kwame had more money
2.Kwame played the 'race card', which the people of Detroit are rucking forons, if they vote for the 'blacker' candidate when both are black.
3.Hendrix's son got arrested

[Dave from Michigan]

as I said in the other thread

Kilpatrick stole a page out of the coleman young playbook and used the race card and us (Detroit)  vs. them (suburbs) to win

I don't think Hendrix son getting  arrested had that much of an effect on the race.  Kilpatrick had some very effective ads.

[King]

3.Hendrix's son got arrested

Shouldn't that help him by showing that he and the people of Detroit have something in common?

[they don't love you like i love you]

I wanted to see Kilpatrick go down so bad, since he's the person in the state making the most noise to reinstate the death penalty (which has been abolished since the 1860s). Even DU hates him.
