Thunder Creek - Ryan McDonald Seeking NDP Nomination

Based on past results, the Thunder Creek riding would seem to be near the bottom of the list of possible targets for the Saskatchewan NDP. But it may be that one of the main reasons for that history has been the party's level of focus on the riding - and if so, then Ryan McDonald looks to be off to a good start in seeking the NDP's nomination to challenge Sask Party MLA Lyle Stewart.

McDonald has entered the race with one of the better websites I've seen for any nomination candidate (with the photos of landmarks within the riding serving as a particularly nice touch), along with regularly-updated presences on Facebook and Twitter. And if his organization in other areas is up to the level of his strong start online, then there may well be enough time between now and November 2011 to turn a seemingly safe Sask Party seat into a tough contest for a government member who's had his share of embarrassments.
