I'm betting George gets appointed in Edmonton Strathcona.

daveberta said...

Jason, unsubstantiated rumours are saying that George has dropped out the race in favour of running for the LPCA Presidency next spring...

daveberta said...

Jim,

Yeah, Strathcona is going to be a tough one. For us, it all depends who wins the Liberal nomination. Ellen Schoeck is a nice person and would probably be a good MP, though the entry of a Liberal candidate this late in the race definately poses some challeges when the Ms. Duncan has been doorknocking for the past 6 months. hmmmm. should be interesting.

Though the Green party/none of the above vote is looking fairly tempting at this point...

"Mr. Dowling has had extensive web experience with hosting his own message board forums, participating in chatting in moderated internet chat rooms, making and maintaining his own web pages and web sites for non-profit organizations and just cruising the net. Dave partook in the first ever internet chat hosted by Air Force One, and his most memorial conversation was being able to ask the second man to walk on the moon:

What would you say would be the most important thing I would learn from reading your book, "The Return," Mr. Buzz Aldrin?

Buzz Aldrin replied: “That there is hope for the future if certain enabling, critical decisions are made by our leaders in government in the next several years.” "


This guy seems to have experience with the internets... a definate plus!

"vanilla sex"?

thanks? yeah, we're pleased with the new template as well. :-)

daveberta said...

We have a feeling that Ms. Duncan may do fairly well in Strathcona. She's been doorknocking since spring, so she definately has a headstart against the yet-to-be nominated Liberal candidate.

"Whoop-de-shit. :P"

yo.

Fact is the liberal candidate is the only candidate capable of beating Rahim Jaffer. The Liberals are becoming less vile, and that I think its time that Jaffer goes, Andy Hladyshevsky will get my vote. I want us to send a message to Stephen Harper. If Jaffer wins again I'm going to be sick.

I dunno, CG. Edmonton-Strathcona sure looks like a wide open race to me. The Liberals didn't even bother to get their candidate nominated until this week. It's quite possible they'll split the vote as per usual, but if you're thinking this new Liberal guy will come in second and Duncan only third, I bet you're in for some serious surprises.

Canadian Gurl said...

That sounds like an echo from the lat election, and sure enough the liberal candidate and the NDP candidate split the vote, and the Liberal came in second.

The week before the election many of my friends convinced me to vote NDP because they figured the same thing as you... I'm not going to make that mistake again.

Don't get me wrong, I like the NDP, but I hate Jaffer and the Conservatives even more.
