I'm guessing by this you mean individual candidate ground operation as opposed to Party.

Don't think we are unlike other parties in that some are very strong and other not so much. Ground strength can be measured in many ways;

- money to invest in literature, signs and calling,
- manpower in terms of volunteers to door knock, man phone lines & scrutineer on E-day,
- of course the candidate is pivotal, have they been out there working & for how long. Is their individual message and personality resonating with constituents.

Obviously I can't let on too much about where we have all these things hitting on all cylinders; but I will say we have enough that are, that they are now sharing resources with the candidates who might be short in some areas. For example; excess volunteers in X area are being redirected to Y area.
