^We are talking about the upcoming poll and not the actual election, right?

If so,

A) McIver, Higgins, Nenshi, Hehr, Burrows

B) Hawkesworth. In a race where I think there's 3 tiers (frontrunners, smaller but significant support, also-rans), I would intuitively place Hawkesworth as straddling between tier 2 and 3, but for some reason the ideological niche Hawkesworth belongs to always surprises me with their dedication and numbers in most other elections, so I could see him possibly surprising me and sliding into the #5 slot where I currently have Burrows. I would have otherwise expected him to be somewhere around 7.

C) Kassam, Hehr (sorry Slava and other supporters), Johnston (I admire him for running, but I don't think he's serious and seems like the type that is in it for the experience and/or to bring light to select issues, but is gracious enough to bow out when things get really serious), Hughes (sort of the same as Johnston). I want to include Connelly in this category, partly as wishful thinking, but seeing as how he has managed to dumbfound me with his stupidity on nearly a weekly basis, I think he may just be dumb enough to stay in the race.
