Your humble organ has hopped across the pond to attend the Non-Partisan Association's nomination meeting. And from what we've seen so far, they'll be no shortage of votes when the results are announced at around 3:30. A steady stream of association members has been arriving at the palatial Marriott Pinnacle Hotel since the polls opened at 10:00, marching past a gauntlet of hand-shaking candidates and their supporters. Mayoral nomination hopeful Sam Sullivan seems to have a the most eye-catching presence, with leather jacket cool campaign manager Colin Metcalfe commanding his operation via walkie-talkie headset. No sign yet of competitor Christy Clark's much feared Indo-Canadian block vote. But Sullivanite backroomers are expecting some busloads to arrive after 12:30.
