Subject: Ridings to watch

Interesting observations. The Sask party has been around long enough to create a few hard feelings. Hermanson is definetly not a loveable soul, and a lot of people invested a lot of themselves into this party in the wake of Roy's "rural Revenge".

They had more in mind than a cheap imitation of Goldwater republicanism or Reagan rhetoric.

I agree, a lot of anger in Lloydminister and Sask rivers but probably not enough to defeat the Sask party there.

Len Taylor can't wipe Roy off shirt, probably NB will stay Liberal, God knows Jack has worked hard enough to win.

Saskatoon will probably return three out of four of Merriman, Chevaldeyoff, Bellamy and Morgan.

Yorkton--Serby will win, shades of Shaunavon 1982 and the wcc, with Ritter running. After his brother turned his coat on the CWB, it is entirely reasonable to suspect this Ritter is an NDP plant.

Schmidt, clear and away...any reason for him to be so charitable if he hadn't consigned Osika and deadrod to electoral hades.

Last Mountain-Touchwood, Glen Hart has taken a lot of care to pick up the local boy vote. Do a gerrymander and throw in a bunch of angry Schmidtites and it could all be for naught. Combine with Brenda Bakken in Weyburn with local issues and a petty Hermanson who hasn't let her run on Mad Cow where she deserves a lot of kudos and we are looking at one loss of SP to NDP in these two ridings.

Regina- could the SP pick up two ridings here? Lots of options but there is a huge civil servant base in this govt town and the NDP has made a lot of miles with the "hit" list. Any SP wins will be hard fought and if there is breakthrough, then we could see a whole sale swing to the SP.

Conclusion-- too close to call!

My prediction- 30 SP, 2 lib and 26 NDP.

But I have been wrong before, right Mac?
