Mr. Mason of the Globe thinks that Dianne Watts has fallen back to the pack in the BC Liberal leadership crawl:
...There are those in the Liberal party who still feel it's a "stretch" for Ms. Watts to want to lead a party that she's had little time for in the past. Nonetheless, she is arguably the biggest name in the race and the consensus front-runner – at least she was.
To say that her campaign has been underwhelming would be charitable. The words most often associated with it are "a total disaster." That assessment has mostly been based on the three public debates the party has held so far...
{snip}
...Right now, the race is wide open. Any movement has been front-runner Dianne Watts falling back to the field. For her, the momentum is swinging in the wrong direction.
But, here's the thing...
Nobody in the 'party' seems to be making much of a fuss about Mr. Watts' hard-con backstory.
Which, at this point at least, seems to be a battle already one for the good ship VacantWatts.
OK?

Of course, Mr. Mason's really big reveal was the super-dooper-non-Sam-Scoop(er) that...Wait for it...Marky Mark is running the campaign of the 'super-likeable' Michael Lee...Gosh, wonder who has been whispering in Ron's ear about the latter's soft-con, up-the-middleish-with-a-bullet, bonafides?...
Hey Dipper Braintrust!...While you all are doing your triangulating on Site C please add the following to the calculations...Unlike days gone by, many soft-progs who would never, ever hold their noses and vote PaleoSocred do have another place to park their votes now...
It's another cigar tube week for me...When I get back E and me will have to hustle to get the first of this year's Advent Jukebox tunes in the can for Friday...
Subheader?....This.

It was the local punditry that established Watts as the “consensus front runner”. Now that their bright bulb demonstrates low wattage, they claim it’s her fault her pundit-assigned “momentum” is swinging in the wrong direction. I’d say it’s really the local punditry’s credibility that’s swinging in the wrong direction except that would imply it was ever headed in the right direction.
Watts was a slightly larger than normal frog in a small pond in Surrey. Once she was in Ottawa, she became a tad pole. On her return to run for the leadership of the B.C. Lieberal party, she still hadn't lost the tail she grew in Ottawa, as a tadpole.
There is nothing to distinguish D. Watts from the other runners and has no "fresh" ideas to peddle for the party. It wasn't hard to "look good" in Surrey, but in the "middle" time she just doesn't have what it takes. I have the impression the other candidates do much better than her. At least they can talk.
I think she's past her best-before-date.
Somehow that surficial beauty doesn't age all that well. I mean, look at Trump for example!
Ya, but (and deep diving Surrey watchers can correct me if I'm off-base here)...
It seems to me that Ms. Watts has shown previously that she is not a wooden post on the stump.
Which led me to ask 'why now'?
As a potential answer I'm suggesting that she has gone mealy mouthed mute to keep from being tarred as a polarizing firebrand uber-Con by the Marky Mark's of LibConSoCred world.
