Mikey, the second generation
Question: how many folks out there in teevee land actually know who Mikey’s parents are? If so, do they really care?
The Fords sell themselves as a brand and a breed. All that really matters in this context is that Mikey is Dianne’s grandson.
OTOH, to ensure his future electoral success, would Mikey be better off being seen as St Rob’s son, Doug’s son (Kybo), or Kathy’s?

I can't see exactly what Ari's facial expression is, and his body language seems neutral. Tory's seems to be more bemused somewhat. Baskin's reaction is pretty much the same as mine. Doug seems to be enjoying a relaxing enema.
More serious mode, I caught the last half of this debate online. I thought Chow was doing ok until she did this, not spectacular but ok. She has a creative arts background, she knows the difficulties of being in an often unappreciated, little understood or cared by most people, understands the arts is actually a very competitive field, and she's got arts cred in an obvious art friendly venue. She also knows, or I hoped she knows that artists can often be unfairly I think, stereotyped for being too "artsy fartsy out there" and can't be taken seriously. (Think of a bad stereotype of a post modern artist whose work consists of a single spoon on top of a cardboard box, with the title "And Thus Spake Schroedinger photonic movement #9")
So why she did this "art piece" in the debate, I'm kinda gobsmacked. Chow seems to be fighting on multiple fronts in this campaign, including herself. That is not beneficial for her IMO.

Somebody buy Olivia a portable whiteboard. Please?
Anything else?
ETA: translate the same diagram from one medium to another, and they taste different, don't they?
(props to Prof McLuhan)

The downtown core is Chows's strongest area of support and Doug's weakest.

Other than potential real-time bombshells yet to happen, of course. Y'know, the DoFo-goes-berzerk variety, or the Ford Nationals go berzerk variety, etc...

First rule of truly random occurrences (like the sex of a newly created zygote): they're clumpy.
I've always felt Rob's son was named Douglas after his brother and not his dad, for the very reason that Doug Jr. had no male offspring.

well, the thread has concluded that Mikey is the child of incest. So yeah, just another boring weekend on UT.
That's magically salacious...

I really want to see someone call his dad a failure and an asshole in front of some TV cameras
