The herald's endorsement made some decent arguments, even

They also spend a lot of time legitmizing Nenshi.
I agree they do make totally valid arguments, and do treat other candidates fairly. Even one of the editorial board members uses his column today to countervail the offical editorial board position. What I mean by 'big surprise there' is that the Herald has a history of officially backing establishment candidates. I'm not just being flippant - I should rephrase to 'not really a surprise'. They are very conservative in that sense of the term - it's their predisposition and therefore easily predictable even months back.
