Another stop on the liberal express was Barrie which is an odd target due to the significant drop in liberal support since Aileen Carroll moved to provincial politics . Ignatieff came to the city and didn't really talk about anything related specifically to the riding but he did get press regardless of that. The liberals new candidate Colin Wilson is somewhat of an odd choice as his background is the public service as a bureaucrat and he does not really have any profile in Barrie related to elected politics. there was also little interest in the liberal nomination here and he was acclaimed cause no one else ran which in a riding 1 hr north of Toronto is a surprise. i mean 5 people are allready nominated to run for mayor here in the municipal election so there is interest in politics here just wasn't interest in the liberal nomination. anyways Patrick Brown should be able to hold this one as long as he doesn't take it for granted like Joe Tascona did and stays hard at work in the riding .

IMO it's brash to claim that Brown will do even better next time--that'd practically turn Barrie into a Calgary seat where the CPC's stomping all over three opponents with shares in the teens. Though it's not out of the question, either. But if he does sag, at least in his own share, that'll more likely be a token sobering-up than some kind of Uncle Joe Tascona shocker. And for all one knows, that could be on behalf of bottom-feeding NDP populism, instead...

Brown will do even better this time. Was at a work event in Barrie and one of the guys talking there works on Brown's campaigns and said that they have 3000 lawn sign orders already and based on last time I believe it. Brown will get over 53% of vote

Brown won his first election only because of how damaged the Liberal Party was. He was absolutely awful in the debates. He won by so much in the second election because he faced a completely unknown Liberal AND there was a massive backlash against Dion. That said, there's still nobody to challenge Brown, so unless Ignatieff gains a lot of popularity, I doubt a new and unknown candidate will pick up enough steam in Barrie. That means we're stuck with Patrick again.

Brown won by 1500 in '06. He blew that apart with a win by more than 15,000 in '08. His second annual ‘Hockey Night in Barrie’ drew nearly a full house to the Molson Centre, and raised $121,000 for the Royal Victoria Hospital. Pretty hard to campaign against a guy who delivered that kind of cheque. Brown will hold the seat.
