Part of a series on Atlantic ridings
Cardigan (currently Liberal)
Lawrence MacAulay has tended to get elected and re-elected here very easily, however in 2000 when the popular Kevin MacAdam ran against him he won by less than 300 votes. That shows us that the right Tory could pull an upset here. The question is, is Sid McMullin the right Tory? For now, we'll say this is a likely Liberal hold but it is worth watching.
Egmont (currently Liberal) *incumbent retiring
Former senior Binns minister Gail Shea faces former (briefly in 1996) Liberal premier Keith Milligan. This should be an interesting race but for now, the edge would seem to be with Shea. Milligan didn't win the nomination at the meeting but was appointed after their preferred candidate stepped down, for this to be the story of a former premier is likely a sign that the Liberals are nervous about his ability to complete. Leans Conservative gain.

I have reincarnated this old blog and will be following both the national as well as the local developments in the New Brunswick region leading up to the 2011 federal election.

I heard on the PEI radio coming back from the cottage that Harper will be at a rally in Egmont on Friday. They must have favorable numbers internally or they wouldn't waste their time.
