Do you think that someone like her would still win a riding in Alberta despite her background? Would it have been an issue? I think you're kidding yourself if you think the Conservatives don't keep few oafs in strongholds where they know nothing is going to stop people from voting for them.

I just can't seem to find any candidates that look as obviously out of place in the Liberal or Conservative ridings. I think the NDP did a very bad job of seeking out "placekeeper" candidates. If you know they aren't going to make it, at least pick someone that looks like they might have a clue about what is going on. At least pick someone that speaks the right language.
Jack spent a ton of time in Quebec trying to get that vote. If they didn't think they were going to get any of these seats why did they dedicate the resources? Even more odd, is why they dedicated resources to ridings in which they had totally unqualified people as candidates?
