Caldwell for NDP leader?
9/9/2009 at 6:11 PM
In an article on the front page of today's paper, the Wheat City Journal explores the idea of Drew Caldwell possibly throwing his hat into the ring for the NDP leadership.
Shortly after the announcement of Gary Doer's resignation, Caldwell told the Journal that he hadn't ruled out the idea. He couldn't be reached for comment on Tuesday to get an update on his status for the article.
It'd be hard to argue that having a party leader from Brandon would be beneficial to Brandon as a city... but it might been seen as a challenge to win since he's from outside of the perimeter.
Do you think he should give it a try?
If he were to run and not win, would your impression of him become more favourable, less favourable, or be un-effected?
The Journal article should be available online tomorrow.. I'll post a link.
