Ya, no question. Before Redford that was held by Craig Cheffins and it was a solid riding in that sense for the Liberals. I don't know the whole story there, but there are some Liberals not pleased about how that has gone.

While I think things will be better than the polls show on Monday, I also think that the Liberals will look back at what might have been in some ways. If they had pressed hard for a good slate of 87 people who want to win and actually be an MLA it would be a start. There are too many parachute candidates and placeholders on the whole though, and that's not going to change many minds.
