Both Ric and Nenshi have bashed Barb and each other. Barb has bashed neither, and focused solely on outlining solutions and her vision. She has Purposely avoided negative remarks about the other candidates, and while this may come across to some as weak, I see it as an integrity that only a political outsider can offer.

Integrity isn't the only thing that's needed in a leader, you need to will and strength to respond to criticism constructively amongst other things. Her remarks during this campaign (most notably with the artsvote incident) have shown that while she is well intentioned she too thin skinned to do a good job atm. Would you want your mayor to throw a tantrum every time a reporter asks an insulting question? What about other alderman and administrators?
