Basically right now he could sit in front of a T.V. camera and stare psychotically at the screen while slowly snapping the necks of kittens and he has a better then average chance of winning.
He becomes the ultimate underdog pity vote if he plays this right, stupid but true.

I think it says more about voters than the other candidates. People get so entrenched in their positions and want so badly to be right when they support a candidate, that they are willing to keep supporting a candidate just to hopefully get redemption.
Ford certainly isn't winning new voters. It's the same people who voted for him before that continue to support him. Their vote was decided long before any of this stuff came out about Rob Ford.
