This morning, Globe and Mail staffers Jane Taber and Campbell Clark reported, "The view inside the Liberal Party was that Mark Marissen was its star organizer for his savvy B.C. campaign work that helped gain seats and solidify the Liberal base. This, after (Prime Minister Paul) Martin caused resentment by appointing some candidates, including the party's B.C. president, Bill Cunningham. He won (emphasis added) the Burnaby-Douglas riding that had been held for 25 years by New Democrat MP Svend Robinson." Translation: Mr. Marissen is even better at post-election campaigning - so much so that he's actually managed to grab the Liberals an extra seat in British Columbia after all the votes have been counted.
