I have no idea who would make a good candidate. Its just fairly obvious that if there was a credible alternative that Nenshi would probably come in a lot lower than 88%.

That's a chicken and egg problem. A credible alternative could lower Nenshi from 88%, but would have no chance of actually winning. Thus, nobody who is credible will run. When Nenshi campaigns against a group of single issue wingnuts, which is likely, of course he'll win by a landslide.
I actually can't think of anyone who could win who might want the job. The only person that comes to mind is Jim Prentice, but he wanted the $$ at CIBC more than he wanted a federal cabinet seat, so I doubt mayor of Calgary is calling his name...
edited to add: usual disclaimer that I voted and campaigned informally for Nenshi
