CBC's coverage of the Saskatchewan NDP leadership race tonight on the 6:00 news featured one interesting note, as the party is apparently estimating that roughly 15,000 members will vote in the race.
Of course, there's plenty that can influence the number of potential voters between now and the April membership deadline. But any indication of how many voters there will be when the convention rolls around should help to give the contestants a far better idea how to plan their strategy. And if the estimate is right to the effect that turnout will be relatively low compared to the 2001 race, then the result may be a race where all of the candidates can foresee a relatively plausible path to victory.
