What were the numbers in Sherwood Park last time? Is there any chance that if the 2 right-wing candidates split their vote nearly 50-50 that a Lib or a Dipper could come up through the middle and win this seat? Or is it such safe Tory territory that one of the 2 neo-cons is garunteed to win?
On CBC Calgary radio this morning, they were wondering where Rob Anders is. I think they said that during the last election hs was helping some candidate in BC and running a telephone bank (the last is news to me). Is he going to show up in his own constituency, you know, the one where the nomination process was not exactly open and aboveboard?
Speaking of nomination processes: who nominated Jimmy Ford?
He didn't even run in the Conservative nomination process that he's supposedly so upset about...

I think it comes down to it, if your name is Jimmy Ford, you can run in whatever riding you want to. I mean, come on, that name rocks. There's not enough Jimmys out there. It's like a redneck superhero or something.
