Clark 'just delighted' to have former rival running for Liberals
BURNABY/CKNW (AM980)

Premier Christy Clark rejects any suggestion the Liberals' nomination race in Vancouver-False Creek didn't go her way.

The race featured Clark’s friend, Lorne Mayencourt, and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, who, with 53 per cent of the vote, secured the nomination.

An interesting result to political watchers, since Sullivan upset Clark for the NPA mayoral nomination eight years ago.

The premier says there are no hard feelings: "It says a lot about Sam’s character that he would decide he wants to run with me. I'm just delighted to have him on the team.”

Clark calls Sullivan a leader in disability issues, adding he brings strength to the liberal ticket.

    Very funny! Oh yes I'm sure she is delighted. I'm sure she loves to be reminded of that embarrassment of the mayoral race. Nothing but bad luck. I'm sure everyone is reminded of that run she took at the mayors chair in Vancouver. I'm not picking on the Premier, but it did strike me humorous. What's next week going to bring?

      Can you please ask someone to proof read you comments before submitting. I am sure the NDP is not tickled that you are espousing them.

      BTW...you use lots of libelous comment and opinion (and you are entitled to it -till you get sued). But don't forget, its a fact that Dix is a liar and a cheat. If that's OK with you, well then I guess it says even more about you.

      Prepare for a minority gov't

    More, "who really cares" political news in Beautiful B.C. I was disappointed not to see a photo of Opee and Christy, cheek to cheek, smiling for the cameras.

    bctaxpayer: How so? The NDP need 49% plus of the popular vote to win government.
    Adrian Dix had dinner with NDP Premier Greg Selinger of Manitoba and NDP Premier Darrell Dexter of Nova Scotia.
    What kind of NDP blunder ideas did he pick up from them?

    All of you who want Dix as Premier just wait til the next bunch of entrepreneurs leave BC - Most of the rentals in Calgary are now being taken up by people from BC- anticipation I suppose - remember the last brain drain when Clark was elected - major companies moved out both east and south of the border----then who will hire you NDP types who hate business and at the same time depend on business for your jobs......

      @AnneH_4 I for one will be looking out of Province between now and election day. I will pack up and leave if the NDP win. 4 guys out of work as soon as I pay out their severance.
