I’ve tried to avoid simply reposting every press release which comes out of the Kennedy campaign on this blog since I’d rather not just be a propaganda dispenser. But, after reading a dozen stories which call this a “3 man race” when, in my humble opinion, it’s anything but<\/a>, I figured it couldn’t hurt to toss up a few good news stories from the Kennedy campaign. So…<\/p>\n

1) As someone with a deep respect for the Liberal MLAs in the Alberta Liberal Party, I was very glad to learn earlier this week that three of them have decided to publicly support Gerard. Mo Elsalhy, Bill Bonko, and Bruce Miller have all endorsed Gerard <\/a>and two of them will even be running as delegates. Given how hesitant provincial Liberals are to be associated with the federal party, I think it says a lot that they’re willing to stick their necks out on this one. One of the three who I talked to said he’d met with Gerard and another candidate (I won’t name names) on the same day and he asked them both the same question on national unity – according to him, Gerard said twice as much in half the time and this won him over.<\/p>\n

2) Vince MacLean, the former leader of the Nova Scotia Liberals has endorsed Kennedy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3) By all indications, Gerard will do very well in British Columbia <\/a>this weekend. And even though Western Canada gets ignored in certain polls<\/a>, there are a lot of delegates who will be going to this convention from the West.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
