   Here is the slate of candidates:

   Conservative: Incumbent Daryl Kramp
   Liberal: Ken Cole
   NDP: Michael McMahon
   Green: Alan Coxwell
   No Independents at this time

   Prediction: Kramp by 12 500

   Hi Jim,

   I agree with your prediction BTW. However, I’m looking forward to seeing who else gets on the ballot… for soem reason I expect Trueman Tuck, the perennial Freedm party/Independent to show up.

   Ken Cole is running a strong and aggressive campaign, but this is not shaping up to be a good year for Liberals anywhere, let alone those in ridings such as this one.

   I see several structural flaws in the Grit organization, not caused by the local candidate, but inherent in the party structure.

   As the Intel reported, the Conservatives are raising nearly 50% more money locally, and from about 300% more contributors. That simply has to hurt.

   So what happened to Lyle Vanclief’s big red machine? The answer to that qustion, I think, explains what is happening to the Liberal “brand” nationally.
