Talk:Star candidate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Here's a possible addition of a "star candidate": Olivia Chow, Jack Layton's wife. She has been the NDP candidate for her riding before Jack became party leader, but wouldn't her being the wife of a party leader make her, for this (and the last) election, a "star candidate"? I won't add her myself; just throwing out the idea.--Bjeversole (one of the only natives of North Carolina who keep up with Canadian politics) 09:30, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Just an honest question -- is it 'fair' or 'neutral' to call it being 'lured' into politics? The word is used twice, and seems to have a needlessly negative connotation. Can I safely edit that out?

For the record, "star candidate" is not a Canadian-specific term. Where on earth did that come from? Rebecca 03:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
