There is a big difference between being able to talk about theories and strategies, and being able to implement them effectively, while maintaining positive relationships with the various bureaucrats in the city. McIver may not have been flashy, but he sure had working knowledge of how this city functions.

These are all valid to me. And I guess the main difference between your standpoint and others on this board is just about whether or not he can be successful without having played a part in council before.
None of us know at this point how things will work out with Nenshi, but to me, that was better than the more certain future that I saw with McIver in office.
