John Laforet's Sit Down Interview with NDP Leadership Candidate and MPP Andrea Horwath
Andrea Horwath is definitely an impressive politician. She kicked off her campaign later than others, and has been viewed by many as the under dog, but quite possibly could surprise a lot of folks in Hamilton. She is well spoken, passionate and her life story represents the right reasons for entering public life. As in 2004 when Horwath won the seat of Hamilton East and restored party status to the NDP, she brings a sense of renewal to this race as well.
She is strong with labour which should help her with the 25% of the vote designated to NDP member labour affiliates and her endorsement from the Toronto Star might encourage the folks in the 416 (of which a considerable chunk of the NDP membership resides) to consider Horwath. She enjoys more caucus support than any of the other candidates as well, adding an additional dimension.
