But it is pretty hard for any Liberal to win when the NDP is at 20-25%<BR/><BR/>This is why I have moved it from a Liberal gain to too close to call.nbpoliticohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517401409653124082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1155927528779922632006-08-18T15:58:00.000-03:002006-08-18T15:58:00.000-03:00Yeah nbpolitico, I'd concur they're stronger candi...Yeah nbpolitico, I'd concur they're stronger candidates. I just don't think they're strong enough. Unlike Alvy, I don't see Brewer bordering on a riding helping anyone. I may change my tune as the campaign gets underway but I still think Brewer is the largest liability the NDP has.Spinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044519689330008751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1155906535569034122006-08-18T10:08:00.000-03:002006-08-18T10:08:00.000-03:00Perhaps spinks but in a race against Misty McLaugh...Perhaps spinks but in a race against Misty McLaughlin and Nan Luke, Brad Green got only 38% of the vote.<BR/><BR/>I think Bertrand is a way better candidate than McLaughlin and Atchison is a stronger candidate than Luke.nbpoliticohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09517401409653124082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1155903739495329472006-08-18T09:22:00.000-03:002006-08-18T09:22:00.000-03:00I totally agree with nbpolitico on Atchison.

Bordering on Brewer's campaign will help, too.Alvy Singerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09142279391865453193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1155902043555508802006-08-18T08:54:00.000-03:002006-08-18T08:54:00.000-03:00I think Green will have to do some strong campaign...I think Green will have to do some strong campaigning but I'd be surprised if he got turfed. It's a pretty conservative side of the River. Although Brad Green is far from charistmatic, he does come across as more personable than Bertrand. I really don't think the Liberals picked a strong candidate here. Name recognition, yes, but not the personality to go with it.Spinkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044519689330008751noreply@blogger.com
