Well he has to make the top 3 first on today's vote. I'm not sure that will happen. Plus, I think for the 2nd round of voting many won't even mark a #2 choice given what happened last time.... everyone's 3 choice winning.

Exactly. It's impossible to hit every door in a four week campaign. When Paul won the Glenmore by-election he managed to get to roughly 80% of the doors. It took him from June to Sept.
The earlier you can get your candidate in place the better.
