Given the complete lack of direction from the NDP in the past five years, we deserved to lose this election, frankly.

But the SaskParty were more determined to lose than we were, and so ran a very bad campaign. As discussed elsewhere on here:

- their campaign was build entirely around a leader with high negatives with nary a mention of the rest of the team

- they chose to equivocate over the core Craowns rather than taking a clear position on either side of the issue

- they allowed themselves to become the issue -- always a bad thing for any party.

They blew a six to ten point lead with a badly run campaign.
