I'm still shocked and surprised. I know this man, and he would have been great. I keep waiting for news that he's changed his mind.

Duggan would have cozened the rich while the poor suffered.In short,he'd have been a typical pol.(Wish folk could ask the late Bob Carmack about Duggan.)

You have a point, but don't embarrass yourself by glorifying Carmack. Make sure you know what he was

Wasn't he a used car dealer whom Duggan debased?

Also,Carmack claimed Duggan took bribes and might have been more corrupt than Krooked Kwame.

It's a shame Duggan isn't running as a Dem for the Senate. I would prefer him over the three candidates, and I believe he'd have a real shot. Thanks for the thoughtful post.

He would have won both primary and the general easily. But he'd be a better governor.

He is an excellent administrator and would likely make a very good Gov. He might make a good legislator, but he has no history in that role and I don't believe the executive and legislator roles are interchangeable. In the end he is a natural D. Inspire of his unique electoral success in Detroit, I believe from the onset he was never going to do anything other than get the R elected.
