So, is the working hypothesis: Rob drops to council race, Mikey drops out entirely, RoFo wins without campaigning and Tory appoints him to the ExecComm?

Could be.

Or if pattycakes is right about the doctor's note and he withdraws, my guess is he'll wait til after the deadline to withdraw from the race. Just so the die hards of Ford Nation can still vote for the Worst Mayor Ever.

ETA: But I still can't rule out sympathy ploy.

Graeme was so offended by people joking about this on twitter that he deleted his account just now.

Ya, because Ford has never offended anyone, ever.

What kind of dummy has abdominal pains for three months and does nothing until the pain gets to be too much? Especially someone.... in his "condition". Let's face it, he's hardly the picture of health and surely he must recognize that.

Rob's self image is that he's an "athlete" - football tosses, tearing up city hall stairs and ditto subway stairs, running while canvassing. Athletes don't get sick and alcoholics don't go to the doctor because they don't want to hear the truth.

Who ever picked "medical" you can pick up your new car at Morty's office.

Thanks, that would be me. Doctor's note, works every time.

he can delete himself too, for all anyone would care...

Cue brave Rob from his hospital bed, promising he'll be back in 2018 ...

Graeme has a history of deleting his twitter account.

Rob may stay on campaigning from his hospital bed to go after the symphony vote.

Tugging at my heartstrings.

Most political tumour ever.

I'm pretty sure that's one vote he will never, ever get. Elitist and all that...

That's probably why he was seen at the hospital a few weeks ago. Nothing like a few weeks of camping stress to make it worse, whatever it is.

Shit...Who had cancer in the office pool?

Let's not jump the gun. Not all tumors are cancers, and this hasn't even been formally diagnosed as tumor yet. Meantime, I sure hope the Star doesn't pull tomorrow's story.

Before people get all teary-eyed about poor Ford, he should be thankful that he wasn't thrown off an apartment balcony. Or shot to death.

NEVER forget this.
