There's no way anyone can successfully spin that as a rejection of the mayor.

I'm willing to bet a good portion of the 65% that didn't vote were like me in that they don't support Nenshi but believe Lord was a worse option. I'm not going to vote for a guy I don't care for but I'm certainly not going to vote for someone worse just to stick it to Nenshi. 2/3 of the population abstaining is not a vote of confidence for Nenshi and more notice that we expect better of him in his 2nd term.
