I know someone who voted for him last time and he told me yesterday that if he was on the ballot today he felt like he should back him again!

Is there any tv coverage to flip to during the intermission?

Why is this guy still yapping?
Can't they just cut back to the results already?

Sucks to be an incumbent. Only Demong looks to be a lock right now.

Credit where it's due... Farkas is losing with class and dignity.

I know that a lot of the people are really really happy with the election results thus far, I do think that people are underestimating how many difficult decisions are coming. Very very unpopular decisions and ones that a lot of candidates don't really campaign on.

I am always a little weary of super positive campaigns that don't touch on issues that need specific addressing, makes for good campaigns but questions that get asked afterwards. I guess that's politics.

I think your average Calgarian is forgetting why a lot of the incumbents and the current mayor moved aside, the decisions that are coming are not going to be fun for a lot of reasons but we will continue to build out great city!

Really hoping that there's a big progressive contingent in the remaining ward 7 polls...

I don’t think Maclean will be better. Big Red at least blew in the wind.

He appears to be a Farkian.

I think most of candidates who are winning understand that. It's the "lower taxes, find efficiencies, same services" people who are losing.

Yeah, I voted Gondek and was opposed to Farkas but some of the demonization of him out there is pretty outrageous.
