I don't think Doug gets much sympathy. His douchiness is evident even to FordNation. I mean, once Singing Jimmy has denounced you, you're pretty much sunk.Doug for Mayor would be stupid. A lot of Fordites would back him, but then he's be working down from 25%.
Makes a lot more sense if Rob runs from his hospital bed and then dies in office.
Doug could win the by-election in a sympathy vote.
