I don't have a good feel for right now in BC either, but if the NDP does not win it is always tough for a Leader in that position... when there is any significant sense of "didn't get what was in your grasp".
First of all, she'd have her own choice to make.
There's no real point to specking that one out. The relevant point here is that Dawn Black faces a situation where either the NDP wins and she is likely a Minister, or if they lose there are still political prospects for her. Its kind of a no brainer.
I have friends who live in Glen Clark's neighbourhood. When Glen was Premeir they would still see him at kids hockey games, in stores, etc. Whats not to like about having a lot more normal life with your family?
