The election will be about persuading tens of thousands of people who voted UCP in the last election to check a box beside their NDP candidate this time around. Nenshi’s prominence in Calgary is an asset there. But as a known quantity, he also comes with baggage. Part of that baggage, as acknowledged by his own team, is that he comes across as arrogant. If that’s a handicap to persuading tens of thousands of Calgarians who voted UCP last election to switch their vote, why wouldn’t you want to see him tone it down?

I think you're making a worth while point in the post, Nenshi needs to win votes from people who chose the UCP.
That said, you also proved another point in this thread, that Nenshi is being held to a standard that no one in the UCP is.
That together pro0ves my point that the NDP has a 0% chance of winning no matter who their leader is unless the UCP split the vote by breaking into two parties.
