Now that the media and the Feds have this snowball rollin downhill, I would be interested in hearing fellow posters opinions on when we can expect this mess to end.... i.e. convictions and sentencing. Even the book that details the entire story line.
Don't hold back. Consider Kwame, Bernhard, City Council, DPS, Blobby Faguson, etc.

Who will play Kwame in the film version of the book? |

If polls show Michigan remains in a dead heat for the presidential race by September, this will be resolved before the November election. The Kilpatrick clan is killing Obama's chances here. I'm a little surprised his campaign hasn't tried to nip this in the bud more aggressively yet. If Michigan starts to swing blue as it normally does, the national dems will leave it alone and this whole thing will drag out to midway or even late 2009. |

I'm picturing:
Kwame with a machine gun and a grenade launcher as the feds storm the Manoogian...

Don't worry about the book...I've got that covered. A couple of them, actually. ;-) |

My take on this is the scandal is winding down. It's going to end in a whimper, instead of a bang.

I have a feeling you're right---some sort of plea deal, leave office and we'll leave you alone kind of arrangement. |

The important thing is to get him out of office ASAP and set about exterminating the rodents in the council chamber and at DPS. I'm positive Kwame will not run next year. He's finished and will have to find another way to make a living. I predict they move out of state for awhile and Carlita quietly divorces him after they're out of the spotlight. |

I think that it could become a national story.
I also think that once everyone is taken care of, that it can be spun into a "Detroit's real problem has been politics, and now Detroit has been fixed and the real renaissance will begin" type thing (which I think could be true if enough politicians get taken out). |

Max, funny, I actually think if ousted he's not above running again. If it's an ousting not undertaken by the citizens (the recall), I can see him running again, and winning. If the recall is allowed to take its course (and it won't be), there'd be no way he could get back in, at least not in the forseeable future. |

National story....it's actually international, my girlfriend in Moscow asked me about it a couple of months ago...and she doesn't even follow politics that closely anywhere...US news gets broadcasted everywhere, this whole thing is intriguing in it's own right as technology(messaging) is the crux of the evidence... |
