The problem is she hasn't positioned herself for anything thus far, other than the fall from first place. I don't think this is an election where you expects fratricide and coming up in the middle.

I don't see how Rob doesn't win in Ward 2. Which means we'll have four more years of that blustering idiot on council and the international headlines will read: Toronto reelects crack smoking mayor to council.

Tory was attacking Doug, who is NOT sick, and IS now running for mayor. What could possibly be wrong with that? Wake up and pay attentionToronto voters!

That works for Rob... he was a part-time Mayor too.

I am sure he would be - though I am curious to see how they justify his presence vis-a-vis other candidates.

Although, Tory is now against changing the system and it would still require T.O. Council making the change.
One problem with the above scenario, Rob is already Councillor. He wouldn't have to re-sign if given the Deputy Mayor title.
Why? He's still Mayor.

I said the same thing in the election thread.
Tory didn't say anything NASTY, he said things everyone knows about how Doug gets along with council, the premier etc.
Olivia's toothless performance today was the final nail in her coffin, IMHO. She wouldn't even agree with reporters, multiple times, that Rob and Doug have similar values. She wants to wait and see - Jeeze, lady, ROB SAID IN HIS STATEMENT that's why Doug is running!!!
She cares so much about Rob's health (and he might not even be sick) and how much he loves the city. I guess no one told her he feels well enough to run for council. It was a wholly pathetic performance and, I guess, emblematic of the general lack of fire we've seen the whole campaign for her. The people who are die hard supporters who want to know why she lost should watch her barely-there speech today. Crikey, enough with "the children" already!

Agreed. Tory handled that presser like a BOSS and he looked mayoral. Chow looked incredibly weak.

A close friend of mine is supporting Tory and she asked me what Tory could do differently to win my vote. First thing I said was, attack the Fords for what they are. No more nice Canadian crap. Tory actually went up in my books today, not so much Olivia.
ETA - The word insipid keeps coming to mind with Olivia

Although your suspicion is quite reasonable, it wasn't registered by anyone related to the Fords. A friend of mine grabbed it after I registered http://www.robfordformayor2014.ca
