Liberals Vulnerable To Dippers: Michael J Savage

The next election in Dartmouth-Cole Harbour should be interesting. In the riding where Sidney Crosby was born and raised, Liberal MP Mike John Savage beat his NDP rival by just 7.9% in 2008 (his lowest margin of victory in 3 wins). The Tories held this riding from 1968 to 1988, but they never recovered from Mulroney in that territory. MJ Savage would most certainly be one of the most vocal Liberals behind closed doors in favour of a Liberal-NDP non-compete agreement...and if he's not, he bloody well should be. The Dippers have him in their sights, and it would take a minor miracle for the Conservatives to win the riding.
