I’ve met her. She’s nice, pleasent, and very open to talk to. People who generally meet her tend to like her almost imediately.

Now that’s the kind of MP people need.

To think that staunch Carol Skelton supporters would consider switching their vote to Nettie, outside of Delisle is far fetched at best.



Kelly Block is no Carol Skelton, correct.
But the reality is that if those residents who were former Skelton supporters come out and vote, they will inevitably vote for Kelly.



Nettie needs to hope that over 2000 of those people are now a little apathetic toward this election, and don’t feel compelled to engage in supporting Kelly Block.

That’s the only way Kelly Block will lose.



Nettie had a great shot last election, and came up short. The Liberals ran a paper candidate, and still received over 12% of the vote. 



I have a hard time understanding where Nettie expects to bleed votes from? Her support hit the ceiling in ‘06.



The strategic voting debate in SRB is really a mut point.
Because it’s Kelly’s to lose, and hopefully Harper’s campaign strategy this year will cost them.


I do agree with Sean, as we’ve discussed, that it will be up to Nettie’s campaign team to GOTV to secure her base.

Total voter turnout is expected to be lower than the previous election, there is quite a bit of apathy to this election in general, and this riding has a history of low voter turnout in the urban portion.

Why would people be so suddenly inspired to vote at all, let alone for Nettie this time, in this election?

If that’s the only way Nettie can win, I’ll bet against it 100% of the time.

Getting out new voters in an election most voters aren’t even engaged in sounds like it would take a few genies and a lot of prayer.
