#Soknaki drops out of #Mayoral race. His 4 % w likely migrate to @johntoryTO.. Will @oliviachow follow to ensure a change at city hall?

Just one opinion.

Daniel Dale @ddale8
Forum poll coming out tomorrow was Soknacki's best ever. 6% support. 58% approval, up 10. Name recognition near 80, up from the 60s.

Being a Forum poll, I am concerned that it will give Ford a boost.

I'm sure if it had, Dale would have said something.

I told the Soknacki rep who called me - if Ford wasn't a factor - they'd have my vote. With Ford I was Tory/Chow.

"I hope @DavidSoknacki will still release his FOI information on the Fords breaking campaign rules. Although a small consolation."

David Sock's luck when it comes to tv coverage was dismal IMO, even in the debates technical mistakes seems to fall on him for some reason. Audio mic troubles, seems to cut out for him a lot on that one debate. One recent one I watched the cameraman seemed to linger on Olivia Chow while it was Socks turn to talk, then slowly panned over to him. Maybe it was a bad combo of slow to warm to vulcan charms, and mainstream media who seems to trip over themselves chasing the circus clown merryl show.

Anyone but Ford, but yeesh is Tory and Chow really the best that TO has to offer. I'll vote for whoever can crush the fofam brand come october, but damn I hope at least Domise makes it to councilor.
 
Soknacki another victim of Ford; had the most reasoned approach (IMHO) yet couldn't get traction in the whole "anyone but Ford" race.
 
Soknacki; Ford; Tory

I was at TIFF for meetings with producers, and CRAZYTOWN is a go. Between that and the Alec Baldwin show, no-one is going to touch Twohey's (undoubtedly self-serving, anodyne) tome with a bargepole. Thankfully.

Huh. Heard otherwise (provisional go, but story control and credit was a thorny legal-ish issue), but it's like living in rumour-ville right now. Regardless, hope your meetings yield fruit.

In Forum poll coming out tomorrow, Chow gained most in then-hypothetical 3-way race without Soknacki, but only a minor impact.

So Chow is gaining after this huge slide.

I was the same until recently. I decided, "Effit. I've never voted strategically before, why start now and do an injustice to the democratic process?".

Seriously, just two days ago, I—a guy who's only ever voted Socialist—decided to vote for the seemingly only *progressive* conservative left in Canadian politics because he has a greater grasp of reality and more rational thinking than the other candidates.

And now? I suppose my vote will go to Chow, but she's really gotta turn that ship, or I might just cast a vote to Morgan or Ari, or even a write-in for Andray.

With Soks cerebral margin out of the race it makes RoFo 3rd place. NOBODY would leave Soks or Sarah and go to Ford.

Umm, I had not heard of this (not perfect, etc., etc., but I'm not surprised). Anyone else? http://www.amazon.ca/Mayor-Rob-Ford...?ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=8-1&keywords=towhey

Awkward title, but it looks like they've taken a couple of kicks at it. Alternate title: Uncontrollable: My Life with Mayor Rob Ford

Hopefully this ain't lost in Sok's announcement.

Choice quotes;
"The events were part of a stream of Rob Ford “mishaps,†which include DUIs, accusations of domestic violence..."

No "allegedly" DUI, eh?

"In May 2013, Mark Towhey had a confidential conversation with Ford. It was shortly after the video was made public and also followed rumors of Ford's involvement in the murder of Anthony Smith, who stands beside Ford in the video. Thus far, the public only knows two words from that conversation; Towhey told Ford to “get help.†They also know what happened next, Towhey was fired. "

Wut, wut? Could it be that the lying scumbag piece of shit junky asshole Merryl actually was involved in A. Smith's untimely passing? Is this the first confirmation of A.Smith being in Crack Tape Vol. 1?

Perhaps that Tagger is on to something?
