3. CPers post any questions
4. Myke answers the questions and any live follow-ups over a ~2 hour period. I said that I'd help him navaigate our complex culture and advanced forum software.


Any thoughts before I commit?

If he puts Wannamaker in his username he'll get tons of votes.

I think Ward 8 is coming down to Hehr, Schmidt and Wiebe.

I like Hehr a lot- seems like a really centrist approach, has experience, really loves the Street level politics and being out there with the people. I think he knows what it means to be a representative and be collegial. He has baggage, but also is a household name.

Wiebe is okay, but lacks relevant experience and is attached to communities first party. She repeats a lot of those points, which seems inauthentic to me.

Schmidt seems authentic and genuine and aligns with my urbanist preferences. But I think in a lot of ways he reminds me of Walcott, where I'm not sure hes actually going to be responsive to constituent issues who aren't ideologically aligned with him.

I'm torn between Schmidt and Hehr. I wonder if they split a lot of votes and wiebe comes up the center.
