Truth be told, I think Meades is the spoiler that will keep the whole thing unpredictable.
Yes, people are allowed to vote for whomever they believe in and I think that's a strong part of democracy, but at the same time I still think there are good chunk of the NDP's new core that aren't full engaged with the by-election. I think they will just walk in and cross odf NDP because there's a box on the ballot.
That's my gut feeling.
For the record, I don't think Meades is a bad candidate or an unworthy MP - nothing against the guy. I just don't think the NDP, even though they said they wanted to run a full and sophisticated campaign, never really put forth a strong effort. It was a really bad sign when they didn't have a nomination until a week after the election was called.
