If it’s Eisenbeger vs Loomis than Fred will win hands down. A good looking, downtown candidate with strong connections to corporate business will lose most of the rural, suburban and urban union vote. It’s what killed McHattie. Loomis better hope it ends up being a lower city race if they want to win.

If a higher profile conservative candidate enters the race, like Bratina, than we could have a 2014 election along over again, where Centrist Fred may or may not be or to squeak out a win. That where things get wild with strategic voting and higher turnout in suburban/rural wards that may not have an incumbent and have higher turnout.

Who wants to take bets that if Loomis doesn’t win he’ll pull a McHattie and leave town?
