Following their...er...smashing success in Vancouver-Kingsway, the federal Liberals are considering holding another early nomination meeting - this one, in Delta-Richmond East. And who's going to be running for that nomination, you may wonder? Well, there's been no announcements as yet. But those being talked-up as a possible candidates include former Richmond school trustee Patricia Whittaker - who was the party's candidate in that riding during the last election. As some of our astute readers may be aware, her campaign garnered more than a few headlining stories - principally because it was being managed by controversial former Vancouver mayoral candidate James "the other Jim" Green. Mr. Green resigned from that post two weeks before voting day, telling The Delta Optimist's Eve Edmonds "I had to ask myself, 'Do you want to be the captain of the Titanic?'" - refering to the Liberals, not his candidate evidently. The riding is presently held by Conservative John Cummins.
