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 fair to say, and maybe my comment seemed more emotionally charged than I meant it. But a guy with his experience and passion for politics was exactly what Calgary needed at the time, and there really is no indication that he's slowing down, or that people are waning on him.
I guess I'm thinking of people like Ric McIver and Barb Higgins who would questionably do a better job than Nenshi, and who I believe to be less open to challenging big lobbies like the CHRA. I, and I assume many other Calgarians, are happy to see a politician challenge interest groups towards a particular bias (for once).
He's still the breath of fresh air he was three years ago to many people. Including myself.
