Toronto mayor Rob Ford to run for re-election

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford has put his name on the ballot to run for another term, defying repeated calls for him to step down after admitting he smoked crack "in a drunken stupor."

Ford was the first candidate to show up at City Hall when registration opened Thursday for the city's municipal election Oct. 27.

He promised "Ford more years," the Toronto Star reported. He also called himself "the best mayor this city has ever had."

"If you want to get personal, that's fine," Ford told reporters, according to the Star. "I'm sticking to my record, and talk is cheap. You're going to see action like you've never seen before."
