"We'll tell you what's
best for you."
-- REGINA -- A Liberal campaign co-chair says Saskatchewan New Democrat Joan Beatty is exactly the type of candidate the party needs for an upcoming federal byelection.
Senator David Smith says that's why the party "bit the bullet" and appointed her as a candidate without going through a nomination process that would have included former Tory David Orchard, a prominent supporter of party leader Stephane Dion.
Well...
apart from some loyalty issues... she does have impeccable lefty credentials.
Beatty was the first aboriginal woman to be elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 2003 and was re-elected as a provincial New Democrat two months ago.
