The Dean's Report On Farnworth v. Horgan....The Inevitability Factor.

The money shot from Mr. Palmer's latest:

...Suddenly (upon Horgan's return) Farnworth, second-place finisher in that earlier campaign, no longer looked all that inevitable. As if rubbing it in Friday, the Horgan for leader campaign staged a high-profile announcement in the tri-city region, one of the three cities being Farnworth’s Port Coquitlam bailiwick.

Endorsing outsider Horgan over local stalwart Farnworth was a quartet of politicians from the region — MLA Selina Robinson, MP Fin Donnelly, former MLA Joe Trasolini and ex-MLA/MP Dawn Black.

That one must have hurt, Farnworth having worked on more than one campaign for some of them. But he’d also realized, from many a non-committal conversation with people whose support he needed, that “it just wasn’t there for me.” Perhaps his heart was never 100 per cent in the race in the first place...


So.

No direct mention of a Provincial Vision thing that is, if not Top(p), is at least sideways on a few folks mind in the wake of Mike Harcourt's rant last week.

Except....

Here's something to consider (at least for a moment or two).

Those folks who melted way from Mr. Farnworth 'non-committally?

We're any of them, by chance, members of the flackhackery that might have had a role in the original Rising of the Gregor?

As the subheader suggests, there was a lot in Mr. P's column that is the type of stuff that is used to brand bloggers as being irresponsible and/or 'cultish' all the time (not that there is, apparently according to Mr. Palmer himself, anything 'wrong with that')...Regardless, the thing at the very end, wherein the Dean wondered if there was any development project anywhere that Mr. Horgan has not/will not endorse unequivocally, really bugged me.....Why?....Because, first, Mr. Palmer has pulled this poop before....And,  to the best of my knowledge that kind of thing was never, ever put to the candidate who is now our 'Say Anything' Premier, even on all matters Enbridge.
