The Liberals bring in the Big Guns!

Hey, when none of your candidates are elected and 50% of your federal caucus in the province has resigned this year, you have to take what you can get.


Gerard Kennedy, former Liberal Party of Canada leadership contender and special advisor to Stephane Dion for party renewal was door knocking with some Regina Liberal candidates on Sunday.
Yep. A non-elected official out helping other liberals who can't get elected.

Sounds about right.

Maybe Kennedy will bring some of the Dion magic to Saskatchew.....no, I can't even type that with a straight face.

Where's Ralph Goodale in this Campaign? As the only card-carrying Liberal who is actually elected to any position in the province, he might be of some use.

Oh, right, he depends on too much NDP support in his riding federally to piss them off provincially.

Or, perhaps, even Ralph thinks Karwacki is a loon.

The only good news for a dipper like me in this election is that it could spell the demise of the provincial Liberal party once and for all.

Good riddance.

(P.S. David Kawacki can't win his seat, so stop e-mailing me to tell me I am wrong, I don't care, and it just makes me do more posts like this one)

I am a former Liberal Party member, (just couldn't bring myself to join the Reform or Canadian Alliance) and I really have to wonder what the hell were the Liberals thinking when they elected Dion? On a personal level he is probably a great guy, but that doesn't get you a majority.

I hear you, Trent. I guess he was the best of 4 (pretty bad) options.

Dion hasn't exactly been adding fuel to the Saskatchewan Liberal fire.

Perhaps Kennedy is looking ahead to the post-Dion era, when he may wish to call on Liberal contacts in Saskatchewan during a future leadership race.
