Reliable sources are claiming that the first the NDP caucus heard about the Sigma Analytics (SA) poll was when it was published in the Leader Post on Saturday.
Evidently, the Friday before and after receiving the embargoed SA poll, NDP Dwain Lingenfelter and his top advisor Garry Aldridge had a closed door, all day session, and left before speaking with members of Lingenfelter's own caucus.
Two weeks prior, members of the NDP caucus at the get-away were told that they were within 5% of 30 constituencies in the province. That was completely contradicted by the SA poll.
If these events are indeed true, the NDP are heading down the path of a very public civil war with the party faithful and the Lingenfelter crew.
And the winner will be Brad Wall, the Saskatchewan Party.

NDP Supporters Are Not The Only Ones Being Spun

Is it too much to hope for a divided Left in Saskatchewan?
Let's see, there's the Greens (most likely; aka the "Red-Greens"), the mortibund PCs (gotta keep them going to beat Brad over the head with the "stolen account" nonsense), the Grits (forget about Jimmy Gardiner! just keep them going!), the SKMP-pothead party (groovy, baby), and the "Saskatchewan Democratic Action Party" (if they ever get off the internet and into reality).
Lingenfelter is a boat anchor. I'd like to see him as the leader of the dippers for a long long time!!
