London-North and the Liberal Leadership

The London-North riding candidates are Conservative Dianne Haskett and possibly Elizabeth May (Green Party). No one from the Liberal party has made claim to this riding now that Fontana has stepped down. The Globe and Mail brings the Liberal arguement that Harper is taking advantage of them while they are preoccupied with the leadership race. Rae, Kennedy and Findlay are not members are parliament. Do you think it is fair for Liberals interested in running for London-North to hold off just in case their new leader needs a seat?

Considering her refusal to declare Gay Pride Week in 1995 (where she and the City of London were fined $10000 by Ontario Human Rights Commission), do you think Haskett has a chance in this long-standing Liberal riding?

I think Dianne Haskett has a very strong chance of winning the seat. It's very possible that the vote may be split between the liberals and the green party, allowing her to come up the middle and win.
