I agree. This makes it not just a race, but a philosophical fight. Prentice on the left, McIver on the right, and by degrees but maybe even down to minutes. Hughes should just drop out if he really cares about the party and not his own ambitions.
Who will the party choose to go up against Smith? Either one outclasses her IMHO, but they first have to wrestle with internal demons. I like Smith but when you consider her history she has inferior credentials to these two.
I think Prentice is more impressive out of the gate, and while I supported Nenshi heavily over McIver in the mayor race, I think this might be a job well suited to McIver. While I support(ed) someone like Nenshi for the mayor's race and didn't like McIver for it, I considered that the municipality does not have taxing power. Put Nenshi in and.... look.... he's pushing hard for taxing power.
I digress. A McIver - Prentice race is exciting and could turn their parties' fortunes around.
