And, we'd guess, that the person probably most unfazed by all this noise is Dianne Finnegan. She's used to courting controversy with her plain spoken comments - even if they mash a few political toes. In fact, yesterday, she may have done that to her own husband, Housing Minister Michael Finnegan. She spoke about the lessons learned on the campaign trail in Lake Independence, and discussed poor living conditions and the inadequate housing stock in the area:

Dianne Finnegan - UDP Std. Bearer, Lake I
"I won't show you people's house that they lives in, because I won't demean them, I won't step on their dignity, but in order to access their house, it's crucial that the government, that people on a whole see how we've neglected human beings."

"Your husband is the minister of housing, come on."

Dianne Finnegan - UDP Std. Bearer, Lake I
"If we have to lash out on him we got to do it."
