Campaign Trail

The highlight of the campaign

Thursday, September 27, 2007 | 03:15 PM ET

David Cochrane, travelling this week with the Liberal campaign, discovers what can make him park his PDA:

I can't believe my Blackberry is getting enough reception to send this post. As I type this, I'm on the longliner Atlantic Rose. The skipper Stewart Rose is ferrying the Liberal campaign from Hermitage to Gaultois. Gerry Reid is in the district of Fortune Bay-Cape La Hune to help Elvis Loveless's campaign.

Gaultois is one of a handful of towns that punctuate the south coast of the island that are only avaiable by boat. I've never been there and this is a great opportunity to see a truly magical place.

So far in this campaign I've been to Nain and Hopedale. Those are towns I'd probably never see if it wasn't for my job.

Gaultois is another one. The scenery on this trip is stunning. So I'm putting the 'berry away to enjoy the ride.
