I will. Simple. If someone wants urbantoronto's agenda forwarded, someone from this forum will have to stand up.

Adam Vaughan? Probably about as many downtown residents despise him as do suburban residents! I don't like Rob Ford at all, but would have picked him over Adam Vaughan.
I doubt it. Either he wasn't interested, or he did some research before the cut-off date in September and found Ford's lead was too much to overcome.If Tory had run in this past election, I would be shocked had he NOT won. He would have taken it in a landslide.
Ford could have one, two, more, or even no viable opponents in '14. Way too soon to tell.I've been thinking that while Ford will have the advantage of incumbency, he will not have that of a divided left. Let's not forget that most of the city voted against Rob Ford and I can't imagine that letting up after 4 years of cuts. The left will be just as against Ford as they were before but under a single candidate.

Everyone forgets that most of the city voted against Ford because it's meaningless argument. And I say Ford would have smoked Smitherman had there been a run-off a week later.
Councilor Gord Perks was impressive today and yesterday. I think he would be an adequate contender, but he doesn't have the name recognition to challenge Ford. Then again, Ford didn't have much name recognition before he became Mayor unless you count the negative connotations that went along with him.
Vaughan and Tory are the only two I can think of now that have a chance. I wish Miller would come back, if he hadn't left we wouldn't be in this mess.
