….And When Does It Need ‘Managing’?
Well…..
Apparently, if you are the Conservative Party of Canada, and you need to identify and then manage ‘target seats’, you’ve been turning to a very fine fellow named Mark Spiro for quite some time now.
How do we know this?
Because Dave and Beijing York have already done all the digging over at the Galloping Beaver to demonstrate it without a doubt.
Not to mention the fact that Mr. Spiro himself has plastered the fact all over his PR firm’s homepage…..
But why do we care about centrally-run fed party teams may have been working on swing ridings separately from the riding executives and the local pols themselves?
Well, as Dave and I both noted, the following popped up in a recent Lawrence Martin Globe column wherein a local functionary apparently offered it up as an explanation/excuse for why some things, perhaps, may have gone on in Saanich in 2008 that the locals might not have known about:
“The (Conservative) party had a separate team, he (Lunn Campaign manager Byng Giraud in Saanich in 2008) said, that worked on swing ridings….”
And what did go on in Saanich in 2008?
Well….
Uhhhhh…..
You know……
Amongst other things…….
Imagine that!
