I guess Orchard's crowd didn't carry as much weight as some assumed, although to his credit his 'friends' are scattered all over the west (including western ont)... I can't understand the ignatieff momentum but i guess maybe the country's shifting right so people think the party should continue that growth. In a province like Sask, where the ndp has always been strong, I would have thought the results would have been more similar to wacky BC -- where lefties like Rae and Kennedy cruised to the top (in either order)... fascinating.

So far as I can tell, this fact holds true vis-a-vis his Saskatchewan network. In fact, I believe his network in Ontario is more extensive and better organized (his brother Grant is in charge of his Ontario network) on all fronts than his Saskatchewan nework.
