There are only three people in this race, Ford, Chow, Tory. Everyone else is a no-hoper, and a vote for them is one less vote against Ford.
I was sad when Happy Happy dropped out of the race.

yeah, I assumed it was Bell's Palsy. Could be viral, or it could be autoimmune. It's permanent in ~20% of cases, so it may never 'diminish' in her case.

Y'know...I think someone ought to do some research into this "Bill Parkiin" fellow, i.e. the bald bearded guy arguing with John Furr--wouldn't be surprised if he has some Iola-esque skeletons in his closet. (And he *does* make an effective Shirtless Guy-esque icon for Ford Nationals at last nite's debate.)
It's guys like him that fuel my "Altamont-in-the-making" fears.
I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole thing and I bailed. It wasn't Ford that sent me packing, though. It was Stintz. Cringing … I left cringing. But I hope that the dear girl stays in the race, if only to absorb some of the RF votes. That's Stintz' only use, sad that is.
Sadly, that's probably what's going to end up as near the end.
I like Socknaki, but his numbers and him not realizing this is closer to a hockey fight vs a chess match...
I don't like Chow's feel good but do nothing proposals. I don't like Tory brand waffle and jelly spine.
Stintz...yowza. Is she selling a decongestant syrup?
I'm willing to bet there are competent non mainstream candidates out there.
Why they're not covered more might be another topic altogether.
But hell, IMO Ford was barely above a fringe candidate when he started the merryl run in 2010.
And look where we are now.
But, if it does come down to it, I probably will vote strategically to ensure the sinking of the SS MINO.
When Ford brought up office expenses I wish someone would have asked him how he can keep his at 0. Who pays for it? How do we know who pays for it when there's no paper trail? Hammer home the point that there is no transparency in his office. Bring up his "whatever happens in my office is nobody's business" quote. You can be tough on Ford without discussing drugs and alcohol.
Socknacki actually beat around the bush on the issue, but never brought up Ford's name. He basically implied that "someone who isn't me" somehow had an office budget of zero, suggesting a lack of transparency. I was yelling at the TV at that point. I felt so frustrated at the milquetoast approach being taken.
Luckily at the end of the day, Ford is his own worst enemy and doesn't stand a chance. If we had to rely on the other candidates to take him down, it would easily be Ford More Years. Thank God for Crack Cocaine.
