Even if it wasn't the city's fault at all, and I do believe they share some of the blame, it still looks bad and will no doubt be in the minds of some voters when they cast their ballots.

Call it the Nenshi effect. How much one can do, or is supposed to do in a crisis is debatable, I'll agree. But times of crisis and emergency are huge in the minds of voters. Look at Hurricane Katrina and Bush, and on the flip side, look at Superstorm Sandy and Obama and Christie, or the Calgary Floods and Nenshi. You can still come out of it looking better, or worse, and I think Ford took a bit of damage on that one. Not a ton, but a little.

To be clear I am no Ford supporter
