His candidacy will be swayed by analysis of the Katz arena deal outside of Edmonton, and whether it was a fair deal for taxpayers. It will be a double edged sword for him. It plays well in Edmonton, but he will be hammered Iin Calgary for it.

I wonder how well he would fare in Calgary if he supported an arena deal here too?
If Mandel were to get hammered in Calgary because of the Edmonton arena deal, then that would represent a significant problem for him. The Tories might take Edmonton, but if Calgary goes green, that would make rural Alberta the battleground for the throne. I'd probably put my money on Wildrose at that point.
