Bleah, yes and no.

Thanks.

She's also probably exhausted; I'm sure she'll give us her take in due course.

Yeah, a bit tired. I do work full-time too and 24th of month is billings day... So yeah I haven't read the entirety of this thread.

Did a search for my username to see who was dissing me and found everyone loves me....


When I actually think about the outcome in terms of seats we did pretty darn good; going from 4 to 17. At least I won't have to change name of my book.

Was bummed for a lot of our candidates, but some stand out.

Jeremy Nixon who poured his heart and soul into the campaign.
Paul Hinman, probably one of the best MLA's there ever will be and of course he is a very good friend.
Other close friends, Tim Dyck, Chris Challis, Vitor Marciano and Todd Loewen.

Thrilled for other friends like Bruce McAllister, Rod Fox and Ian Donovan.

Even more happy that the likes of Hunsperger and Leach didn't win. Perhaps some think they are good people and maybe they are in some ways. But in terms of the party I believe they were poison.

Right from the get-go they should have stepped down. As it was they left Danielle and the party in the worst possible position. In my mind their lack of action (doing the right thing) shows they were just in it for themselves. Harsh? Perhaps. Being a candidate in a party system though means you are part of team.

I believe this is what cost us many more seats than any of our weaker (and some stupid) policies.
