If Rutherford ran, he'd get killed. Absolutely killed! He might stand a puncher's chance if he ran for councillor/alderman, but not for mayor. Nenshi is virtually unbeatable this fall and Rutherford is not credible enough.

I think that a credible candidate against him could be much more interesting. While I don't think that Rutherford would win, I think people citing the approval rating are mistakenly under the impression that Nenshi would garner anywhere near that percentage against someone credible. If the 2010 race was Nenshi and McIvor straight up does Nenshi win? I'm not so sure. Granted things are good right now, and I would vote Nenshi personally, but CP isn't anywhere near neutral in this discussion.

I doubt we see anyone credible step forward anyway, so it's all a moot point. It would be interesting though.
