It was a choice between a strong NDP candidate and a largely unknown Liberal candidate.<br /><br />The Liberals should concede Strathcona to the NDP, and concentrate on other constituencies in Edmonton that are presently represented by MPs not a whole lot different from Jaffer (Laurie Hawn and Peter Goldring for example).<br /><br />First and foremost, the goal is to turf Harper; after that, let's worry about Liberal and NDP numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-80379162276188195132010-04-10T20:00:17.538-06:002010-04-10T20:00:17.538-06:00Don't forget the power of incumbancy.

A high-quality candidate with some name recognition (due to having run in the previous election)<br />2. A weak Liberal candidate<br />3. A large well-directed group of volunteers<br />4. A lazy campaign by Jaffer<br /><br />The margin of victory was less than 500 votes.<br /><br />Only two of these factors are in Duncan's control. We can expect the CPC to devote many more resources to Edmonton-Strathcona in the next election. What the Liberals can dig up remains to be seen.<br /><br />Duncan could pick up some of the votes that went to the Green Party, since she appeals to the same point of view and has proven she can actually get elected.Curmudgeon-at-Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12711926936968653119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10290429.post-65977443651912981022010-04-10T14:13:04.414-06:002010-04-10T14:13:04.414-06:00The Conservatives are tough on crime.

As a Saint Albert bigot, I extend my intolerance to include the angustifolium interlopers from the east. Damn them all. May they and their ilk shrivel.<br /><br />And while I am sympathetic to the Amelanchier, they do not have the antioxidant properties of Vaccinium and so therefore must remain inferior.

A lot of Edmontonians like to have at least one voice of opposition from this province in Ottawa and Strathcona is the natural fit. There will be people from all over coming in to help the Duncan campaign, just like last time.<br /><br />With the endless reminders of how principled the last Conservative MP from Strathcona was, I would think the CPC's election team might target different seats. It could take a ridiculous amount of time, effort and dollars for them to win this one back.
