Well I'm not a McIver supporter, but the fact is that he knows the issues. He has a particular position and when he is asked a question about a particular issue he speaks about it and articulates his position. That might seem like a minor factor, but it probably chops about half of the mayoralty race from the picture right away.
He talks about things like accountability and fiscal conservatism. People all know him as a fiscal conservative (whether its true or not, is another story). He talks about the recycling program and the $8/month people pay for this and that the city put independent businessman out of business through its implementation. I think its a fantastic program, but he does have a stance and articulates that stance.
