Charlie LeDuff is reporting that she's thinking of doing a write-in run, and that it is the Call 'Em Out Coalition that's putting her up to this. Ha! Maybe, it be good for her to run and get publically humiliated and politically destroyed on an even grander scale than she's already been humiliated by either Bing or Cockrel. |

Call 'Em Out and their rally at the Council meeting has put Detroit back 40 years. Bring on more of that anti-regional sentiment! For the first time in my life, I would understand completely if the region pulled NAIAS out of Detroit. If this crap keeps up, we can wave goodbye to other efforts. I knew MC would use this sad mentality to bolster herself politically. |

There is no way she can win. No one can win this as a write-in race, and she knows it. This leads me to 3 theories: A) She's kuh-ray-zee. B) She's running in the hopes to take juuuuust enough votes from Cockrell and throw the race to Bing. C) A & B |

^^^But if Bing wins doesn't Cockrel re-assume her (Conyers') current position in the Council? Am I missing something? (Message edited by PANDA on February 27, 2009) |

but hold up. if mc is contemplating not running for city council again because of the scrutiny she is now recieving, what makes her think that same scrutiny wouldn't exist in triple-fold if she is mayor? another example of extreme battyness. |

She should only run if she can get Master Lonnie Bates to be her campaign manager. He's looking for a gig in public service. |

She is a hypocryte. Maybe if she became mayor she would actually send her kids to school within the city she represents! Instead of course of sending them to land of a mall and grocery stores! God help us if she becomes mayor! |

A A A A A Kuh-Ray-Zee A A A A A All the way. Picking B would assume there is a thought process going through her head. That's more crazy talk there if you ask me. And if KC gets his job back (regardless of a court decision or not), we're in for more blockbuster headlines with her antics. Somebody needs to smash her in the face with a broom. And I mean that in the best way possible of course. |

I have had conversations with co-worker, family, friends, and people in the political arena about this question. Do you think some Detroiters vote and act on emotions? Prime examples are when I watch City Council meetings and watch voters vote the way the vote in the City of Detroit. The Call Em Out Coalition feels Monica Esters should run for mayor out of pure emotions! This is just my take on the subject. |

She is an embarrasment to the people and the city. She is just so amazingly ridiculous. When she pulled out that plantation reference my jaw dropped. Her poor husband probably stays in D.C. to be out of her reach. |

^^^ Her poor husband should accept his sexuality, come out of the closet and ditch this queen. Otherwise, I have no sympathy for him. He's equally as culpable as her for this mess. |
