My imagination of the Scene...
Seeing as I cannot locate any good blog posts about the initial Wildrose Alliance Leadership debate that was held in Grand Prairie last night, I had to rely on some old fashioned MSM reports. The picture provided by the newspaper shows the three candidates ( ironically in their predicted order of finish) but no shots of the crowd, thus my imagined interpretation above! I see that the Wildrose continues to set the province on fire....this time they managed to get over 30 supporters out to this crucial debate. 30... Hmmmm....
Maybe I am being to harsh? 30 is a good number is it not? Considering the article quotes the northern director of the party as stating that membership has QUADRUPLED this year and that the "turnout in Grande Prairie is proof that the tide is turning on the current government." I am not sure I would be bragging that 30 people attended this event. 30 people attending a candidates debate ( and most were likely members) does not show the tide turning on anything. However it does highlight many of the the deep logistical problems that this protest/fringe party has, but refuses to acknowledge.
I will be watching for the spin on how the WAP was able to get 30 people to attend a leadership debate in a city that is likely hit hard by the Oil/Gas industry. 30 people.
Perhaps the tiny WAP Flame is starting to fizzle out?
