"Man, those Ford Nation morons are loyal. Pretty big advantage for the Fords that whatever happens they'll always have that 35%.
New Forum poll: Tory is preferred for mayor by 54 per cent versus 34 per cent for Ford"
So true - every strategist needs to assume that they're playing for 65% of the electorate, until Rob is no longer able to run. That makes things hard - one extra person to split the vote, and the Fords have a serious chance of winning.
Unless, the majority of the 35% are somehow discouraged from voting. That's a terribly cynical way of looking at things, since I believe the majority of the 35% aren't the Neil Flagg crazies, but the poorest, most downtrodden people who see Rob as a combination saviour / F-you candidate. Those are the people that we WANT to bring in to the process, but at the cost of bringing the Fords to power again?
