A story in the Daily News on Friday announced that local dental surgeon Randy Patch, vice-president of the Kamloops Rotary club and a longtime Progressive Conservative, has left the Conservative Party of Canada and joined the Liberals. Patch, who ran for Parliament under the P.C. banner in 2000, explained is decision by saying “There is no ‘progressive’ left in the Conservative party whatsoever.”
Patch described his frustration in watching how "the Harper government cut child-care funding, did nothing to fight climate change, and made no ground on improving health care for Canadians."

Hmmmm.......sounds an awful lot like a quote from a recently crossed over Federal MP......hmmmm.
"Good" news for the Liberals I guess- but it will only split the anti-CPC vote further. Senior Liberal BC organizers I've spoken to have explicitly said they don't consider this riding winnable- a strong Liberal candidate here only saps away support from the NDP- Conservatives win.
The last blogger knows what all insider NDP/CPC strategists know. The Conservatives are praying for a strong Liberal candidate. The NDP want the last one.
Conservative are hard core voters...the media slammed Hinton continuosly but her voter only dropped slightly over 1%
What about a Green split on the NDP? A high profile candidate would kill Crawford's chances.
What makes Crawford run?
Lets hear from those who know him. What motivates the man. What makes him right for us.
Crawford is very mild, like a cheese that doesnt offend but doesnt tempt the palate.
Crawford is like de-alcoholized beer.
