It's not entirely clear who is the frontrunner. The Dyrholm campaign has more Facebook friends than Elect Danielle, and it is likely that the Dyrholm campaign is using federal Conservative membership lists to call people and sell them a membership, which they buy and then mail in their vote, based on the fact they know Dyrholm and without taking a look at Danielle.

I'm not inclined to underestimate Chandler's organizing and GOTV powers.

The one thing that may have given Danielle a boost this week is the Glenmore win may be prompted Calgarians to buy party memberships on their own initiative without being contacted by either campaign. Those people will likely inform themselves and then go heavily for Danielle.

It depends on what Shane's source is for rumours of membership sales. If it is someone connected to seniors advocacy, an evangelical group, or provincial or federal party insiders, as a Danielle supporter I'd be concerned, because that means Dyrholm has real reach that many long time Wildrosers can't very well assess the strength of.

Very funny, Shane! If the PC'ers, Libs and N...

Very funny, Shane!

If the PC'ers, Libs and NDP were smart, they would be buying WAP memberships and voting for the person who is NOT the frontrunner in the race.

OMG....I have tears in my eyes from LOL.
