Four candidates are seeking the Liberal nomination in Egmont. From left, Gilles Arsenault, Robert Morrissey, Tina Mundy and Robert Gallant.

This time around, Keith Milligan is looking forward to being an armchair observer.

Milligan, who spent a brief time as premier, ran against Gail Shea in Egmont in 2008. He lost by fewer than 100 votes.

The Tyne Valley native said Egmont, which was held by the Liberals for nearly three decades before being won by Shea in 2008, is ripe for the picking by the Liberals.

Justin Trudeaus own personal popularity is quite attractive to a lot of people right now, said Milligan, adding he will not publicly endorse any of the four candidates running for the nomination in Egmont.

Gail Shea has personal popularity. However, she is carrying Stephen Harper on her back and its certainly going to be a factor in the race.

This Saturday, hundreds of Liberals will pack into Hernewood Intermediate in Woodstock, near Mill River, to elect a new candidate in the riding. More than 2,100 card-carrying Liberals are eligible to vote.
