Bob Richardson, Senior Counsel at National Public Relations is no stranger to organizing and running political campaigns. Bob says the shortened mayoral campaign in Toronto is going to put a good deal of pressure on each candidate's ability to build an effective ground organization.

At this stage there are as many as 8 credible candidates with a real shot at winning this race. But Bob says don't be surprised if another name ends up on the ballot. He expects Olivia Chow will be the standard bearer for the left. He also expects her campaign will be formidable.
