This week, Rob Ford triumphantly returns to his gilded hall, having staved off termination at the hands of Paul Magder and Clayton Ruby (more nefarious monikers this blogger has yet to hear).  All is not sunny and rainbows in the realm of Ford, however, as a Forum Research poll released shortly after his press conference demonstrates that in most one-on-one matchups, he ends up the biggest loser.  However, a glut of candidates has and may continue to work in Ford's favor, and Torontonians can and will vote for anything including ghosts, house pets, and garden variety eggplants.
