Credible doesn't mean the candidate wins. A sitting councillor would be credible, but would stand little chance of winning. I don't see Rutherford being credible. If a credible candidate steps up, there is still almost no change anyone beats Nenshi.

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.

In a head-to-head race with pretty much anyone, Nenshi would clean up. I don't see anyone having much of any chance. Next election it may be different as mayors tend to lose support around that time as there are more and more pissed off people. This year they guy is as safe as it gets.
