This will instead be an election about whether voters are more concerned with balancing the budget than they are that the mayor is smoking crack.

Or to put it another way, who the voters would prefer less: a crack smoking internationally lampooned caricature or a left-wing elite who will plunge the city back into deficit.
You think the only people running against Ford will be left wing elites? I think it's guaranteed that at least one person from the non-crack-smoking-fiscal-conservative group will run against Ford. And really, they'd be crazy not to. You put all your eggs in the Rob Ford basket, you end up with crack - I mean cracks - in all your eggs.
