If I were home I would go campaign for her. I can't really do much for her from here though.....

Kris – thanks so much for helping to draw attention to this.

I'm definitely an "Orphan voter" - I turn up and give my buck 75 to whoever tickles my fancy, but there's no point in wasting my time reading party platforms when my vote is not going to have any effect on my riding's results. Checking out those links, and thanks. :) I'll be interested to see the spot tonight, Kris.
