In 2004, Larry Booi was a big name candidate in Glenora for the NDs. In 2008, they had to find a replacement candidate a week or two before the campaign after their original candidate stepped down. <BR/><BR/>Not sure about Mill Creek, ND candidate Stephen Anderson seems to have a lot of signs up on the Strathcona bordered area around 82nd Ave, but I'm not sure about the southern half of Mill Creek.davebertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06822739409684978316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4627755197994529937.post-37992308046440262052008-02-10T14:07:00.000-05:002008-02-10T14:07:00.000-05:00The party doesn't need to dump major resources int...The party doesn't need to dump major resources into keeping Edmonton Strathcona provincial - Rachel Notley has already exceeded fundraising expectations in the pre-writ period by 200 to 250 percent and her sign locations on the first day exceed what previous campaigns had for the entire writ period. She has it sewn up.<BR/><BR/>As a Mill Creek resident, I'm going to add Edmonton Mill Creek to the list. It's easily as much a long-shot as Ellerslie, but the northwest area of the constituency (bordering Edmonton Strathcona) is very NDP. If we can identify enough voters and build a bit south of the Whitemud, it's possible to take it. The NDP has held this seat before with Laurie Lang and the constituency association is more organized then they have been in decades. If not this election cycle, then the next one we'll take it.Kurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368539824809631000noreply@blogger.com
