Very interesting to see who the Tories get to run here. The riding contains some of the most liberal areas in the city (two provincial Liberal ridings, and some of the more liberal aldermen in Farrell and MacLeod (formerly Hawksworth)). Prentice was a good fit because he was a very moderate conservative, but if they don't field a good candidate and one of the liberals or NDP can figure out a great candidate to run here, there might be an upset. If Hawksworth hadn't run such a horrible mayoral campaign that pretty-much submarined his reputation, he would have been a good candidate for one of the other parties to put forward.
