This election I'm seeing quite a different debate. The liberals are coming on stronger than ever while the Conservative candidate has remained silent. With the strong ethnic vote here I would call it too close to call. |

A large ethnic population would normally lend some support to non-conservative parties in the area. However, the Liberals and NDP have both decided to run "old-white-folk" in the area to challenge Deepak. Also, Liberal Candidate James Maxim's accusations of the Conservative candidate having his signs stolen and torn down did not play well on the news and made him sound more "whiny" while actually bolstering the appearance of a "tolerant" conservative candidate. |

A combined Tory vote of over 70% last election in this riding means that this riding is very Conservative. Calgary and most of Alberta is anyways. If you're looking for an Albertan riding not going Conservative, this is not the riding that will do this. Any other party doesn't have a hope. Deepak Obhrai will also cut from the traditional ethnic vote that normally goes to the NDP or the Liberals. |

This might not sound "nice", but the reality is that Deepak Obhrai is one of the few ethnic candidates for the Conservative Party, and they will likely target the riding to ensure he wins again. |

Any riding where the PCs were a distant second to the Alliance in 2000 is a sure thing for the new Conservatives. |
