Eglinton-Lawrence Liberal Candidate

Q192: Who will be the Liberal candidate for the federal riding of Eglinton-Lawrence?
Eve Adams: 65%
Marco Mendicino: 35%

The Liberal nomination vote for the riding of Eglinton-Lawrence is scheduled for tomorrow (see story here).  Eve Adams, who crossed the floor from the Conservatives to the Liberals, is running against Marco Mendicino.  It seems to be a fairly close race, although Eve Adams has apparently signed up more members than Mendicino.  Eve Adams doesn't seem to have received any official support from Liberal leader Justin Trudeau.

I had previously said that Eve Adams had a 80% chance of winning the Liberal nomination.  Given the apparent closeness of the race, I now think that might be a bit too high.  She still seems to be more likely to win than Mendicino, given her higher membership numbers.
