Here's my post to a similar thread at eQuesnel.

(1) I don't think he is a front runner. mid-pack, at best, for one of the two vacant seats
(2) nobody would be so bold as to claim to be a front runner... even those people for whom it's true

Agreed xguestx. While the question was well... questionable... it did sure open my eyes on Gino. He had a chance (much like Mr. Forman did) to answer the question rationally and make the issue look silly. Instead he proved a couple things.
1) He's already polarizing voters. SOMEBODY out there obviously has had a run in with him, and he hasn't even made it to council yet. Not a good sign.
2) He is cocky. Even if you ARE a front runner (which I now hope isn't true), I sure don't want to know just how great you think you are.
3) He isn't ready to be a "thick-skinned" politician. If you aren't prepared to take some undeserved heat now and again, politics really shouldn't be your big thing.
