After thinking about it a bit, I wondered if any white candidacy could possibly win a mayoral election in Detroit. Among serious candidates who would even consider doing it (and even this is a stretch) the only person I could come up with is Bill Laimbeer. Not that he'd ever leave basketball, but he might have a legitimate shot, especially if he announced that Rick Mahorn would be part of a package deal.
Others I thought about but ultimately ruled out for obvious reasons: Alan Trammell, Jim Leyland (if the
win tWS....), Chuck Daly (maybe a few years ago), Matt Millen (can't keep him from GMing tLions, can anyone keep him out of political office???), Scotty Bowman, Steve Yzerman, Kid Rock, Lloyd Carr, and my personal favorite: Mike Abdenour.
