It is time to get back to some realities. Neither can the left or the right rule our political structures in the future, after all they are not even close to being a player when percentages are looked at as a whole in Canada. Good riddance to Ted and others that think they can control the majority in Canada. Not really a big Ted fan. It is time to get back to some realities.

"If I were advising ..." he would advise against appointing Morton to cabinet. What a pompous retard! What conservative government would take advice from him? Regardless of the party elites or caucus, Ted Morton is right now one the most influential men in the PC party. His base is big and loyal!

I'm not a Morton fan -- in fact, I'm relieved he lost -- but leaving Morton out of cabinet would cede a big chunk of the party's support to the Alberta Alliance.

He's not well known in Calgary and that opens up some possibilities for us," he said. </blockquote> Not well known is an understatement! The numbers I've seen place Stelmach's support in the south below 20%. I'll post more accurate numbers when I get access to more detailed results. But one thing is clear, the PC party will remain weak in the rural south if Stelmach doesn't broaden his appeal outside of the north. Quoted from the Sun article mentioned above,
