The potential for the NDP to be competitive in a riding also comes down to how familiar a particular candidate is in that riding.

To run for the NDP, candidates should automatically be prepared to have their names stand two (or three) times.

Look at all the northern Ontario New Democrat M.P.'s who ran 2 or 3 times before they were elected.

Here in South Shore-St. Margaret's, Gordon Earle was a comfortable third the first time he ran in 2004, came second in 2006, and was just 932 votes short of winning in 2008.  Hopefully, he will agree to run once more, and given the provincial results of June 9th, stands an exceptional chance at winning S.S.S.M. next time.
