Pupatello has the most support in OLP race
…the most experienced support, too.
Both count.

Good….she will need all that support to win on the first round…..if she doesnt, then Team Hair and Teeth and the other sore losers will gang up on her and she will have a heck of a time winning after that.
And if that happens, me and others are gone. Good luck with the election campaign, etc. See ya in a decade.
Now Now! I thought all good liberals suport liberals?
no matter who wins– all liberals need to pull together. That’s what good families do!
Speak for yourself. I’m not the patron saint of lost causes.
Really? I remember you supported Nathan Cullen during the federal NDP leadership race…
You can’t call them sore losers. It’s the way a delegated convention works. The most succesful Liberal premier in Ontario history did not win any of the ballots except the last one (the one that counts). Is he a sore loser?
Actually, I see a lot of support bleeding towards her campaign on subsequent ballots.
I can’t imagine he who shall not be named has any bigger post-first ballot advantage than Pupatello. Granted, I know nothing of how the various other candidates are thinking, but I don’t know why one would have momentum after the first ballot and one would not (assuming the supposed disadvantage is not being in caucus/Cabinet currently).
In fairness, my comments are all based on anecdotal conversations with grass roots friends of mine. In my conversations with folks who plan on attending, there seems to be a consistent trend towards S.P. as a second choice. In fact, I haven’t heard one single person mention any other candidate as a second choice.
I’m surprised no one in the Press has tried to write about the relationships among the candidates. After all, that will be the most important factor come the beginning of the second round of balloting…
Good point tfalcone86. In my humble opinion, the most underreported story of the race, and the impetus for my first comment above.
Warren, a few executives on my riding association sent me a link to Kathleen’s new website. I was just wondering what you think about it. It looks pretty snazzy.

Whoever set up the pupatello town hall robocall tonight needs to work on their tech – the audio was completely distorted and indecipherable, I hung up as I couldn’t understand a word.

Pupatello and her team would do well to read this article. Cohn hit the nail right on the head here. Making Ontarians understand that we can provide additional convenience to consumers without affecting the ownership of the LCBO is key.
It is also a vote winner. I am a lifetime Liberal voter who would love to support a candidate that is in favour of keeping the LCBO in public hands while removing the monopoly that allows an international conglomerate to profit in the extreme from their ownership of the Beer Store.
This compromise preserves what is good about our alcohol sale/distribution system in Ontario while purging the bad. I hope the Beer Store’s days of monopoly are numbered. And I would love for Sandra Pupatello, as next premier of Ontario, to pledge to keep the LCBO in public hands while eliminating the Beer Store’s monopoly in Ontario.
