I'm no political analyst either (more like an armchair quarterback with a vested interest I'd say!). But Jane, you are dreaming in technicolor here. I drive around that constituency all the time, and just yesterday was when I realised that you were the candidate there.

I did know thiw before, from CP...but truthfully I forgot. Yesterday was the first sign of yours that I saw. They say every sign on private property is worth 10 votes...using that rough formula you should have about 900 signs on private property so far. I have to guess that you're about 850 short of that tally?

Good luck though! I don't mean this to be a total slam against you or what you're trying to accomplish. I know that candidates always hope for the best come election day. I know that the NDP in Lethbridge during the federal election wake-up on election day thinking (at least a little, tiny bit) like "maybe people will all vote for me out of pity." Of course I'm not suggesting that you would only garner support that way...but you're predicting your vote total to eclipse your own party polling rates by around 40-45%!!
