I hear that happens with age. I'm pulling your leg, I'm likely older than you.<BR/><BR/>anon...I like Wells and indeed I think he's correct when he say's the NDP is attracting talent. It would however be foolish to ignore who sit's in the Liberal seats.<BR/><BR/>Sharon, no, it won't be a cake walk and he's not Svend. She has to take this seriously imo.<BR/><BR/>Anon, I'm not that worried. Garneau has more weight. <BR/><BR/>I will say this though. The NDP seems to be going after star's and in Quebec specifically. Mulcair won't want to be out shone, yet he's likely behind these moves. <BR/><BR/>I hope we are making the same kind of effort in terms of gainng candidates that have something to say.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-54729303466915784212008-07-03T19:40:00.000-04:002008-07-03T19:40:00.000-04:00National Newswatch asks in a headline today "Yet a...National Newswatch asks in a headline today "Yet another NDP star candidate?"

Some have described Carr as currently holding second place in this riding.
