Who are you voting in Detroit? I always say, it amazes me how the buzzards circle come feeding time. I was attending the weekly blues fest on St Aubin (1 blk N. of Warren) this Sunday and a slue of congressmen and would-be congresswomen stop by to throw their pitch. Even Senator Leven dropped by. Now, we all know what a dog in heat is looking for but if there is one individual that you feel stands out, please, list their names and district.
