Has Miller even said he's running again?
Why would he not? He seems to appreciate the city and have a vision for it. With good chances of winning again, I don't see why he wouldn't.

Mel Lastman did wonderful things for North York. He had some trouble in Toronto because of what Toronto was going through during his term. Frankly anyone else would've had the same trouble he did. Sheppard would have a full subway stretch if Dalton was in office back then and not Mikie.
If he decides to run again, Lastman would be the only person who's got a chance of swinging me away from Miller. Everyone else might as well stay home and not waste their money.
Infact, I'd love to see a Lastman vs Miller showdown.

Hmm, I didn't see Jane Jacobs in that clip ...I want Jane Pitfield to run again, just so that this can happen again and I can pee my pants laughing (Jane Jacobs finding out live via CityTV that she lost).
As much as despise Lastman (for his buffoonery), I will say that Lastman was a very active supporter of North York's growth and development. It's significantly harder for such development to occur if city council and the mayor are in opposition every step of the way.North York was just a growing suburb. Lastman was just a populous leader who watched it happen. I don't really see the "great things" he did for North York, unless you count the the civic masterpeice and incredible public space that is his self-named square off of Young Street.
I agree with Graphic Matt that the strongest contender would be a centrist or slightly left of centre Liberal.
Much, much more the latter in my opinion.As for Miller, the reason I think he won was because he skillfully aligned himself against the Centre Island bridge... Well, that and because the other candidates were even less attractive than he was.
