| I'm amazed at the amount of Liberals and NDP predictions for various Edmonton and Calgary on this site. The NDP may finish a distant second in a handful of ridings here but they have no chance of winning a seat in Alberta. Has Jack Layton even been here during the campaign? As for the Liberals if they didn't breakthrough in this city in 2000 they aren't about to this election. I say Mr.Rajotte wins this riding by at least 50 percent of the vote. |

| Bruce King was cleanly beaten by Dave Hancock in the last provincial election and will fare much worse against James Rajotte. This will be a clean victory for the Conservatives as the rural parts of the riding most definitely will not stomach voting for a Liberal. |

| Okay, King may be a good guy or an "ambulance chaser" depending on your point of view, but here's the key thing that alot of people are forgeting: THE LIBERALS ARE SINKING! In Alberta they pretty much sunk. Things are not looking bright for the Liberals and not only are people talking about a possible Liberal-minority government but a Conservative-minority and even a Conservative majority! So do any of you really think that a sitting Conservative MP in a riding that gave him 52% of the vote is goign to turn him down when the word "Liberal" has become synonomous with scandal and corruption? If there was no incumbant or even a crappy incumbant (which Rajotte is not) then the Liberals would have a chance in this Edmonton riding(even with the scandals and all that jazz). Thats not the case so solid Conservative hold. |

| In the entire time rajotte has been "my" MP, never once did i hear from the guy, didn't get an email, an invite to a town hall nor a newsletter to see what's he up to. . .so he may be dubbed a "star" MP, but not for me. |

| Bruce King can win this one. James Rajotte in for a nasty battle. Every vote will count. Both James and Bruce are courting rural and urban riding. Both are running a second time. James was previously the Edmotnon Southwest MP. Bruce ran provincially. |

| James Rajotte is a star M.P. in the Conservative caucus. Given an A rating by Jane Taber in the Calgary Herald, How do our MPs Rate? (July 14th, 2002). James has done a great job as Industry Critic and his probing, well thought out and brilliant comments and questions in the House clearly shed any "inexperience" labels that opponents will attempt to pin on him. Edmonton-Leduc is Rajotte country! James Rajotte will win I predict with 65 - 70% of the vote. |

King is the ambulance chaser who embarrassed himself during the last provincial election when he tried to unseat Dave Hancock. He is federal party's candidate of last resort, after former Liberal MLA Mike Percy refused Martin's invitation. Rajotte is one of the city's most respected MPs, has solid fundraising and a solid organization across the entire riding. He also has strong support from the former PC side. He's an excellent debater and knows the issues. The fact that he is not a Liberal will only help him retain the ~70% that the CA got last time in the new southern section of the riding (Leduc & Devon). Easy Conservative win. |

| Bruce King is a high profile lawyer and an officer in the Army. He will have high personal appeal. Military background will appeal to rural voters. Superior debating ability will outshine the remarkably inexperienced James Rajotte. King is considered an up and comer in the Liberal party. |

| this riding is partly rural, and votes that way, rural. The Conservatives will win by a healthy margin. |

| James Rajotte is considered a rising star in the CPC caucus. This will not be one of the Liberals' Edmonton target ridings. |
