The whole campaign snuck pretty much under the radar. You can remember all the drama over Nenshi's last campaign, that was back and forth in the spotlight for months. This one is coming on the heels of a federal campaign that I'm sure pretty much exhausted everyone's patience for politics, and no one made much noise. It was one of the things Nenshi kept saying during the race; none of the people aiming to replace him had articulated any bold new vision for the city. Trying to name what the various candidates stood for in any of the races probably would be challenging for 90% of the population.
