Nenshi isn't that bad. However, this forum is already focused almost entirely on Nenshi and he just doesn't have the votes. It's between Barb and Ric. That's just how it goes...I don't make the rules.
The choice: No experience but a fresh face with a strong presence, or lots of experience and a guy who still has Race City Speedway as one of the main issues in his platform.
That's all there is...we could compare them to Obama if you like, but it'll be Barb or Ric winning tomorrow.

So you're not going to anwser my questions then? Going back to "it's between Barb and Ric"? Really?
Sorry JJ, talk around my very valid points all you like, personally I will never consider voting in a mayor elect with such a dearth of experience. You want to try and convince us (Nenshi supporters) that we should not bother voting for Naheed (despite his clearly being the most qualified, as you yourself have now conceded) because he has no chance and instead we should vote for the least qualified candidate because she is a "fresh face"...? I think Oscar Fech would also be a fresh face and to be quite frank, he is much more qualified then Barb, I think you should vote for him.
Barb is a newsreader, and I do not mean to put her down, she seems very nice (when not being questioned in any way, shape or form) but it is absolute laugh to think she could or would ever be mayor.
Edit: And what is with the "that's the way it goes, I dont make the rules" line? Go and take a peak at the Herald's (endorsed McIver) last poll which showed there being only 3% point difference between all three candidates, not to mention the handful of other polls linked in this thread that all show Nenshi CLEARY being in the race. Just because you keep saying it is a two person race does not make it any closer to the truth.
