I hope Naheed can as well--but what I really, really hope is that they don't split the vote and allow a candidate who is utterly without vision of any kind to come up the middle.
Of course, for all I know they may finish last and second-last and this will be a moot point.

I think come september if one clearly has an advantage over the other(s) in support and fundraising (be it Nenshi, Hehr, Hawksworth, Stewart) you'll probably see some drop out and throw their support behind the candidate with the best chance of winning against a perceived frontrunner like McIver. Same might be said for others as well.
It's a long election though, so anything can happen. What's interesting though is the general level of interest is quite high in the race with no incumbant. Twitter and Facebook also have changed the face of campaigns significantly.
