I honestly think that the top-3 finishing order could have been reversed if Barb had been able to capitalize on her name and face recognition. So many people wanted to like Barb (myself included), and given how elections (unfortunately) are often decided on a familiar name, I really think that it was her election to lose. And she did.
It has already been said by myself and others, but my impression of Ric McIver improved quite a bit throughout the election. That, combined with Barb's debacle of a campaign, made me feel that Ric would have been a satisfactory mayor. A month ago I wouldn't have believed that I'd say that.
