Socknacki needs a powerhouse campaign manager. With that he could win, given the weakness of the field.

Ari Goldkind said he was having a 'meet and greet' next Tuesday, somewhere near Roncesvalles. He has been very plain spoken to date. I agree with whoever said that they would like to see him and Ford in a debate. AG is used to cross examining people.
So on Twitter, and here, and in the G&M comments on last night's debate, there is a common thread of "I really like Socknacki/he's the only one with real policies/he's the only one with real numbers/but he won't win/voting for him would be the waste of a vote".
Are we in collective fallacy land, are we just being way too timid, or are we still not completely able to count out the King of TCHC?
A quick look back at Calgary situation: three months before the 2010 meryl election, Nenshi was polling at 1%. That increased to 12% and 8% at subsequent polls. He won with 40% of the vote.

Perhaps Socknacki is no Nenshi, I can hear you saying. But Socknacki could do the things that worked for Nenshi - engaging young people (Socknacki already talks about innovation efforts to get young people from college to meaningful work and was the only one in last night's debate to discuss something other than magic wands), winning social media (i.e., anything but the sniping going on between Kinsella and Kouvlakis, the two men I'd least want to spend eternity with), and focussing on starting conversations everywhere.
The Fords would prefer to lose to Chow than to anybody else; Rob has said it himself. It seems like they have a lot more respect for her than the conservatives running. Doug apparently even applauded one of Chow's lines about Tory not knowing what he's talking about at the municipal level.

I wonder which of the following applies:From visible at all times to not at all... safe to say Bobby's been sent packing? Hopefully media adds this to the questioning they will shout at Ford to no avail, eh?
I wonder which of the following applies:
1) Rob's all better now and doesn't need a babysitter
2) Ford knows he's going to lose so why waste the money on fake Sobriety Coach
3) Sobriety Coach has gone on bender
I've heard it mentioned enough times that Ford's face was back to its Coke Classic shade of scarlet last night...
As sad as it is, look how downhill he went WITH having responsibilities...without them, do we think he'll do LESS partying?
