So far, I’ve limited these rankings to the question of which candidate I see as most likely to emerge victorious at the Saskatchewan NDP’s leadership convention. But since the rankings haven’t produced any substantial movement, I’ll include a bit more to this week’s prognostication, adding my best guess as to

Accidental Deliberations: #skndpldr Candidate Rankings – February 19
While there’s been plenty of news in Saskatchewan’s NDP leadership campaign over the past week, there’s hasn’t been much evidence to suggest the campaign’s shape has changed to any great degree. So rather than explaining why this week’s rankings stay the same, I’ll include a comment on pluses for each

As I mentioned in my follow-up notes from Saturday’s Saskatchewan NDP leadership debate, the candidates’ performance hasn’t done much to change my impression as to their relative position. (Which, as a reminder, is different from my personal endorsement.) But there have been a couple of additional indicators over the past

Not surprisingly, there’s relatively little change in this week’s rankings: there have been relatively few new developments, and the most significant ones have mostly reinforced the candidates’ current placements. 1. Ryan Meili (1) Meili’s December fund-raising success ensured that his top ranking wouldn’t be in jeopardy. But the most important

Following up on yesterday’s introductory post, here are my first candidate rankings for the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race. 1. Ryan Meili (–) Lest there be any doubt, there’s still plenty of guesswork involved in trying to rank where the candidates stand: the lone poll we’ve seen during the course of

As I did in the NDP’s federal leadership campaign in 2012, I’ll start shortly with weekly rankings intended to highlight the relative positioning of the Saskatchewan NDP’s leadership candidates. But before I get into the rankings themselves, I’ll offer both a reminder of what they’re intended to accomplish, and a
