Stolen thunder, lightning candidacy

So what does Sam Sullivan think about former provincial cabinet minister Christy Clark decision to file papers for the Non-Partisan Assocation's mayoral nomination? Well, in an interview, your humble organ asked the Vancouver city councillor whether he thought someone from Port Moody could be Terminal City's top elected politician. His response: "It's not the first time we've had a mayor from out of the city. Fred Hume lived in West Vancouver. And there are also councillors that lived out of the city." When pressed on that question, Mr. Sullivan said "That's not my judgement. That's the judgement that obviously NPA members will have to think about. But I think she's a credible candidate. She's got a lot of talent. I wouldn't be discounting her because she told me she intends to move to Vancouver." Incidently, Mr. Sullivan also submitted his nomination forms today. But, like Ms. Clark, he didn't officially announce he's running for the mayoralty. "I'm certainly interested. And I wanted to make sure my name was in for it."
