Calgary Grit

I’ll have full thoughts on the weekend up soon but, for now, I did a quick guest post at the Daily Canuck explaining why the results are good news for Kennedy. Cerberus and John Lennard are also there pimping their guys. To build on what I posted there, I’ll post the first ballot results from […]

I’m too busy hitting refresh and too tired after two days of non-stop campaign stuff to try and write anything coherent. Discuss the results among yourselves…

First of all, let me say that this has been an exciting, clean race that I’ve enjoyed a hundred times more than the last leadership “race”. Despite some high profile no-shows, there’s a varied and talented pool of candidates running and I’ll have no problem supporting the last one standing come December 2nd. There’s a […]

It’s finally here. And I’m not ashamed to admit I’m really looking forward to seeing the results as they roll in. For anyone looking for last minute leadership reading, I’ve updated my Race for Stornoway page – it’s got my profiles, Globe profiles, news stories, links, and anything else I thought was worthy of stealing […]

The Globe & Mail had online chats today with the three candidates likely to come out of this weekend with the most delegates. For those who missed it, here are the links: Michael IgnatieffBob RaeGerard Kennedy I’ll let people browse the transcripts themselves, although I will say that Bob Rae is going to have to […]

I’ve tried to avoid simply reposting every press release which comes out of the Kennedy campaign on this blog since I’d rather not just be a propaganda dispenser. But, after reading a dozen stories which call this a “3 man race” when, in my humble opinion, it’s anything but, I figured it couldn’t hurt to […]

Jason Cherniak tells about his adventures with a new Liberal poll tonight. Well, I just got a call from “Solis 1” myself tonight and it was the same script: “Liberal delegate meetings are this weekend. Which candidate will you vote for?Bob Rae, press 1Scott Brison, press 2Michael Ignatieff, press 3Stephane Dion, press 4Other or undecided, […]

As always, you can see my projection spreadsheet online.In an effort to remove some of the subjectivity to the projections, I’ve replaced my “gut feeling” level of grass roots support for each candidate with the regional polling data from the Ekos and Strategic Counsel polls which came out this week. For the record, I see […]
