Burying the lede

The bad news: CBC is just now getting around to reporting on the Saskatchewan NDP leadership fund-raising numbers which were made public nearly three weeks ago.

The good news: As an afterthought, the article tosses in what may be the most important campaign information for the next little while:

The party said Wednesday that party membership has tripled in recent months as a result of interest in the race. Membership now stands at 14,169.

Which means that the membership total is basically in line with the party's earlier predictions - albeit with 7,085 as the apparent magic number rather than 7,501. But we'll have to wait to find out just who's managed to add thousands more names to the membership list over the last month, and who stands to benefit from that influx when it comes time to vote for the next leader.
