In 2010, Calgary's three-term mayor declined to run. Comparing Wikipedia’s 2007 and 2010 Calgary municipal election entries, four sitting aldermen also did not run in 2010. My suspicion is that would increase the odds of an attentive audience. It appears that of the 10 incumbent aldermanic candidates going into Calgary's 2010 election, only one lost (and lost badly, placing fourth in a field of six). A mayor still has to leverage votes from city council. If Nenshi’s aldermanic endorsements go south in next month’s elections, he may have a testy team dynamic.
