What happens if you can't get a federal nomination? Evidently, in the case of Greater Victoria School Board chairwoman Charlie Beresford, you go looking for a provincial one. Ms. Beresford, who lost the New Democrat federal nomination fight in Victoria to former mayor David Turner, is rumoured to be considering a run in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. That would put her in competition with popular Oak Bay councillor and former party leadership candidate Nils Jensen. Earlier, there had been some discussions about having a party mucky muck meet with Ms. Beresford and convince her to sit the race out. But so far that hasn't happened. And that could mean big trouble for Mr. Jensen, who doesn't have the genealogical connection to Tommy Douglas needed to win a competitive New Democrat nomination fight.
