I was surprised that Nenshi got 43% of the vote to McIver's 30% in ward 6.

I thought the margin would have been a lot closer, given that the ward is in the Calgary West federal riding and have always backed a Conservative, even if it is the clown Rob Anders.

I also thought more voters would lean towards McIver for the building of the West LRT and the new sprawl developing in and around the new station near 69 Street.

In the aldermanic vote, I picked John Yannisitos, who came 2nd to Pootmans. I thought the vote would've been split more as there were ten candidates and didn't expect to Pootmans win with 31%.
