Did Social Media Help Nenshi become Calgary's New Mayor?






Many people are are attributing Nenshi's win to social media.  By comparing their stats & spend (known to me), I attribute Nenshi's victory to communication hustle & smart spending on 2 of the 3 most consumed media platforms...internet & radio.  These stats are as of Oct 19, 2010
