My first instinct was like bigguy: McHattie is too left-wing to draw wide support from the mountain and rural areas. Remember that Eisenberger had some great policy idea's but lacked the klout to make things happen on council.
The Spec article gives me some hope that McHattie might be an effective mayor, something we have lacked for some time. Serving two terms as a councillor gives him experience and pedigree.
Perhaps his time has come.
Really like Chamberlain too, but he may have the same issue as Eisenberger.
