In the provincial election our Liberal candidate had never even been to the city she was running in and decided not to bother checking it out during the election period. She didn't put up a single sign, never attended a debate and didn't even bother sending her picture, website or email address to the Liberal party website.

Sounds like one or two NDP candidates in Quebec during the last election.. and they got elected. There is always hope for a miracle I guess.
Besides, do most people really vote for a candidate because he or she is the best candidate running? Or do they vote for the party and the leader? And since in most cases they can't vote for the leader since he isn't their riding candidate... they vote for the candidate that belongs to the same party.
