I didn't take that do be your meaning. Was just illustrating that the money and influence will spill in winnable ridings.

Horwath and Christopherson are formidable community-based leaders and smart cookies, but because they've been outsiders, their strength is potentially the riding's weakness. The core could well be a political dead zone for the next four years, save for scraps of mercy in the run-up to the elections. (That's when the Lister Block funding dropped, for example.) But as far as being a player at the table, or enjoined in the conversation, we're pretty much looking like a petulant footnote. (Although with the NDP in a power position, it'll be interesting to see if they can bring home any bacon -- or even just rid downtown of the federal halfway house that was supposed to have been removed at the end of 2008.)
