| The riding of Fort Langley-Aldergrove demonstrates one of the strangest phenomena in contemporary politics. Low to middle income constituents supporting a conservative politician. We see this all over the world, in the US, the UK etc, people from more humble backgrounds supporting candidates that aren't necessarily looking out for the "little man/woman". What attracts the "poor" vote is the alleged values that the conservative constituent stands for: the family, the church, skeptical of abortion, gays, immigrants etc. What it says is that sometimes, economics/money issues - so trumped and heralded as being the be all end all in politics, sometimes is not...sometimes it is about values. So Shayne, here is a bit of advice if you want to play in Rich's sandbox. If you talk the same conservative talk about families, religion and all that business, and couple that with traditional NDP talk of helping the little guy/gal - you might actually make this race a little more interesting for what could promise to be the biggest route of them all. | |||

| Slam dunk for the BCLP. This is aptly named "Coleman Country" where traditional values, law and order reign supreme. The only challenge for the BC Liberals is whether they can break 70%. | |||

| Part of the Fraser Valley bible belt, so easy Liberal win. Considering that unlike many of his counterparts in other ridings, Rich Coleman is a conservative in a conservative riding, this should be an easy win for the liberals. They are more likely to have trouble on the North side of the Fraser River or in Surrey, but not on the South side east of the LangleyéSurrey border | |||
