In general the byelection has me frustrated though. All of the progressives can agree on so many things.

Looks to me like there's a group of people pretty devoted to Chris Turner that's hi-jacked this process. Hard to see how in a formerally solid conservative riding that there's enough votes for both his campaign and Locke's that still has one of them standing on top at the end.

I've read Turner's campaign materials and it seems he's really trying to downplay his party while promoting himself. He obviously thinks an association with Elizabeth May isn't a winning one for Calgary and on that front I probably agree.
