I read somewhere that despite missing yet another forum today, Crockatt is committed to one more before the end of the race. The reasoning was that going to more didn't sync with the priorities of her campaign. Pretty brutal.
Although the whole wifi thing w/ Elizabeth May is pretty kooky, Turner doesn't give off that vibe for me. I've had the chance to listen to him speak a number of times, and he definitely comes across as a solid, thoughtful guy, who is a decent speaker and would make a fine MP.
Although Locke seems like a decent candidate as well, I've heard him speak outside the forums and he can come across as quite condescending. I had to chuckle a bit at the end of Saturday's forum when his closing remarks were something along the lines of "either Joan or I are going to win this thing, so vote Liberal". Obviously he feels a bit threatened by all the momentum Turner has been generating.
