The Liberal head count

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 | 05:41 AM ET

As of this morning, the Liberals still need 13 candidates for a full slate of 48. Political staffers say the slate will be filled by the end of the week. An interesting side bar: the Liberal candidate for St. John's Centre is Lori Ann Campbell-Martino. She ran in 2003 for the Green Party but resigned when the Greens adopted a strong stand against the seal hunt.

To my knowledge, the Greens are not running anyone in this election. Martino is running against cabinet minister Shawn Skinner.

The deadline for candidates is Sept. 29.
