It's early. Hehr starts with more name recognition but a lot of voters may reject him simply for having been a member of the Alberta Liberal Party. Ultimately I hope that voters won't have to decide between the two... if, a week before the election, and it's clear that one is simply playing spoiler for the other, then I would hope that the one who is polling lower drops out and supports the other. But that's a week before the election, not today. Nenshi might have to leapfrog 8 candidates, but let's give him a chance to do it before we write him off.

I'd say that's far from a moot for people trying to decide between the two.
