“Having been a leader myself in an organization, I had over a thousand people in my area of responsibility. It’s a tough job, keeping everybody in line,” says Morris. “And particularly during an election cycle like we are in right now with a whole pile of A-Type personalities. He’s got his hands full. But I think he’s doing a good job.”

But Beach says some of the goings-on during this campaign, and the man at the top, haven’t played well in the polls for the Liberals.

“You’re seeing ridings that looked solidly Liberal that, now are coming within striking distance for the NDP. Even here in Prince George, Prince George-Mackenzie now is something like eight points where it certainly hasn’t been that close for a while.”

“I haven’t felt it up here and I don’t think I will,” counters Morris. “The fight is a little different in the Lower Mainland. The personalities are a lot different down there and the issues are different down there. Will let them put their best first forward and concentrate on the platform and we’ll worry about the internal issues, internally.”

He says he has a job to do right now and that is to win an election.
