Alberta NDP top second-quarter fundraising battle

[BruceW]

Keep saying, a united center party doesn't guarantee a win.  Despite no one admitting to voting dip, a lot of people did;  yes there was a split vote between the pcs and WR but most ridings that WR took the pcs weren't as much of a threat as the dip voters.   The new party cannot be complacent and will have to be prepared to fight the left wing media at every turn if they want to win.
IMPO the new party has to realize that many dip voter are idealists who live in a fantasy world where facts and reality mean absolutely nothing.  That, again in MPO is how the dips got elected.

"Documents show the NDP took in $553,733 donations from April to June, followed by the Wildrose at $416,750 and the Progressive Conservatives at $78,252.

The Alberta Party raised $37,969 and the Liberals took in $33,845."

No issues going forward I wouldn't think Bruce. Now tat the parties are united we will see the money coming in, people weren't going to invest in something that wasn't a guarantee.

But you are right, we can't let up and not support them thinking everybody else will because you can be darn sure every dipper will show up at election time trying to keep their commandants  in power.

Remember gentlemen that the NDP also has created an election slush fund.

It is called the carbon tax.

I'm pushing the people I know already, and so far getting a 100% buy in. Hope it's true what they are telling me.
