Seems like it will make a runoff a safe bet.

I dunno; asking Council

I dunno; asking Council members to be on the host commitee puts them in a bad spot. The five new ones (Grieve, Della Volpe, Pavlis, Brown, Palmer) will have to work with whomever is elected, and would be wise not to endorse (of course, that doesn't mean they won't). That leaves Becker (who I suspect pretty strongly is a Rogero guy), Woodhull, and Bailey (who's rumored to be considering a run himself). I'll be curious to see if any - and who - responds.

BTW, what's a "Jobs Cabinet?" And what would it do that's different from the Chamber?
