    Doing this before the dirt had a chance to settle on her mothers grave is a little tacky, but that's politics I guess.

    It doesn't matter - to win in Alberta you need to nail two of the three following areas - Calgary, Edmonton, Rural Alberta, and outside of rural AB, the WRA is losing support.

    To make things worse for the opposition, Alison Redford will take a lot of moderate votes (in Calgary especially) from the Libs/NDP in the next election.

    I campaigned and voted for her in the leadership campaign and I'll definitely be voting PC in the next election, simply because she is the best party leader in the province. She's smart, well-travelled, well-educated and tough as nails. You just watch - when the election is called, Smith and the WRA won't know what hit them.

    I can give Danielle a place to crash, if she's out of work soon.

    Don't we have a forum member named 'Wild Rose'? I initially thought this was about her.

    They have to start the mud slinging early or they won't stand a chance. On the plus side Redford will have a chance to put action to her words for a bit before it actually matters.

    Actually, it's quite the opposite.... Rural Alberta loves Smith and so do most of the people I know in Edmonton.

    Since Klein's departure the Conservatives have failed to produce a leader and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    Michael Carter, Danielles campaign wiz, is now Redfords right hand man..... he has 600k in bad business dealings... 400k of which is at the U of C.....

    I think Danielle is smart, and connected.

    A large portion of the Oct 1 leadership campaign voters were either wildrose, or liberal supporters imo.... Mar was the parties first choice , but because of the preferential ballot system redford snuck through on second place votes.

    I do beleive that Alberta is still primarily pc... but the party is definately on shakey ground... and more divided than ever before.... Mar was ahead of redford by 5% after the first place count.... redford by 2% after second place count.... although she had the mandatory 50%+1.... the party spent 5 years defending stelmach coming up the middle and he ended up with ... i think it was 78or 79% confidence vote at agm....i would be interested to see what redford would score.... :?:

    I never said rural Alberta doesn't like WRA (see bolded), but they are definitely losing support in the two major cities. Your evidence regarding Edmonton is anecdotal, polls and other tracking have shown that the WRA's support is falling from the highs they enjoyed last year.

    And based on Redford's experience, she'll be twice the leader Klein was IMHO.

    At least she seems to actually have a brain on her shoulders as opposed to a drink addled pile of mush. Only time, an election and a small vote turnout will truly tell.

    Wow, Wildrose has managed to out Steve the Torys. Next step is "Redford is not a leader!"
