So it would take minimal effort to win it and would take eliminate that question about him. <br /><br />My biggest concern though, is if Topp were to win the NDP would have a party leader not in the HOC. Any seat he ran for after could be a nasty fight. The Libs and Cons--who could possibly even work together by one of them not running a candidate--would love nothing better than to see the new NDP leader fail. That would be a big gamble for the NDP.Robert McClellandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441059623685149683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768991.post-38972265395136800032011-09-17T12:14:16.856-04:002011-09-17T12:14:16.856-04:00Re: Saganash's English, see his convention spe...Re: Saganash's English, see his convention speech <a href="http://cpac.ca/forms/index.asp?dsp=template&act=view3&pagetype=vod&hl=e&clipID=5794" rel="nofollow">here</a> at about 8 minutes in.<br /><br />As for your question on Topp, even assuming Harper calls the by-elections anytime soon (which I doubt), I'd be shocked if Topp ran in them. The two types of campaign involve different forms of organization and conflicting time commitments, and taking his focus off the leadership race would seem to me to do far more harm than good to Topp's chances even if he could add an electoral win to his resume.Greg Fingashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01506686081291502115noreply@blogger.com
