Last night, former provincial cabinet minister Joyce Murray won the federal Liberal nomination in Vancouver Quadra last night. And she certainly made sure those attending that nomination meeting knew she was on the ballot. Plastered all over the Hellenic Community Centre were posters of Ms. Murray posing with a number of Grit personalities including: party leader Stephane Dion, Vancouver South parliamentarian Ujjal Dosanjh, retiring Vancouver Quadra parliamentarian Stephen Owen and...wait for it...Mason Loh. Earlier, your humble organ asked Mr. Loh whether he would be supporting Ms. Murray's candidacy. At the time, he said, "Not at this moment."

But the real question is: Did Mason bring any voters to the meeting?
I was under the impression that Ujjal had officially stated he would remain neutral in the Quadra nomination race as he felt it was not proper for a sitting MP to endorse candidates in a nomination race. At least that is what I was told by people on his staff.
What I noticed about the "endorsement" photos the Joyce Murray people posted is that in the photo showing Joyce beside Stephane Dion, standing in the background was none other than the guy currently running the de-elect Emerson campaign. I wonder if he'll be working for Joyce if Emerson runs in Quadra.
