Sorry to disappoint you Ed but I still have not come up with a z for this campaign; however, Liberals in Avalon have a new spin on the Premier's Anybody But Conservative (ABC).
In Avalon that means Andrews Before Conservatives! Liberal Candidate Scott Andrews is a liberal party backroom veteran and a member of the Conception Bay South Municipal Council. Scott has been out hammering on doors and raising money for months.
Clearly Scott and St. John's South - Mount Pearl liberal candidate Siobhan Coady will benefit the most from the ABC campaign. If the local PC's just stay home the pair should win. With the local PC MHA's organizations working to elect them they are most certainly assured victories.
The Avalon riding was created in 2004, by carving off half of Bonavista-Trinity-Conception and combining it with parts of St. John's East and West. Liberals won all but three elections in the past 50 years in the old Bonavista-Trinity-Conception riding.
John Efford was first elected in a 2002 byelection in Bonavista-Trinity-Conception prompted by then-industry minister Brian Tobin's resignation from federal politics. Tobin, who served as Newfoundland and Labrador's premier from 1996 to 2000, won twice the votes of his Tory opponent in the 2000 election. From 1988 to 2000, this seat was held by Liberal Fred Mifflin.
Manning won the seat in the last Federal election on the very promises that Prime Minister Harper has broken. Lets Send A Message is the ideal campaign slogan!
