Baird leading Pratt by 24 points!

John Baird, incumbent Conservative MP and the Environment Minister is leading David Pratt, former Liberal Defence Minister by a staggering 24 points.

OTTAWA - Conservative John Baird is cruising toward a lopsided victory in Ottawa West-Nepean, according to a poll commissioned by the Citizen.

The Compas survey, conducted Sunday and Monday, gives Mr. Baird, the incumbent MP, 54-per-cent support among decided voters.


I guess you could say John Baird owns OWN. :)

Ottawa West-Nepean was one of the ridings targeted by ABC campaigns, in fact, it was receiving special attention by environmental groups in an attempt to target the Conservative Environment Minister John Baird.

As the poll stands now, not even strategic voting by every single remaining voter will unseat John Baird. And we have seen through other polls that the Conservative support is pretty solid, and not likely to shift that much.

John Baird is widely seen as a strong MP for his ridings, his partisanship has often hurt him, but as observers have seen, in the last few months there has been a kinder gentler John Baird.

It is more fitting for a cabinet minister I think.

We're better off with Harper.

Mr.Baird is getting very strong support from those in the Gay community, not usually seen as being Conservative supporters.
