Landslide Anne in Trouble

Uh oh this one is going to be another squeaker for Landslide Anne. According to a Canwest wire story;

A new poll also suggests Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan is in danger of losing her
Edmonton seat to Conservative Laurie Hawn, an Ipsos Reid poll conducted for The Edmonton Journal suggests.

Hawn has 42 per cent support in Edmonton Centre, while McLellan trails at 35 per cent.

The poll, conducted by phone between Jan. 9 and Jan. 11, asked 600 people in Edmonton Centre about their views on a wide range of issues in the riding. It is considered accurate to within four percentage points 19 times out of 20.


It doesn't help that she defended the PM saying he didn't know about the Canadian Troops in Canadian Cities ad. Oops cause he said he did. While others say that it was supposed to have never run.

But Laurie Hawn is not above using dirty tricks either;

Hawn called on McLellan to apologize for the ads.

McLellan said she has run a positive campaign and suggested Hawn was the one using smear tactics. Earlier in the week, Hawn's campaign team sent out envelopes with the message: "If you were a friend of the Liberals, this envelope would be full of cash."

Yep it's a classic race in Edmonton Centre for Landslide Anne. Don't move from your TV sets election night, cause it ain't over till it's over.
