What are the sources of the polls? The problem with private polls is that, even if their methods are legitimate, they are selectively released.

The depths that this government will stoop to have no limit, it seems. At least the pathetic desperation is good for a laugh every now and then.

I know the Battle of Alberta is about the only thing most people care about right now, but this is at least worth noting. We can discuss when the series is over....

Expect further news today, caucus is meeting and a number of different things could happen.

I suspect a "superstar" leadership candidate is already lurking. Possibilities: Jim Dinning, Rona Ambrose, Michelle Rempel

The superstar will be none other than Jason Kenney.

I’m not sure I follow. Kenny’s resigning, but he’s the superstar in the waiting?

Braid: Kenney will resign leadership eventually, but doesn't intend to leave
Only 51.4 per cent of more than 34,000 UCP members who voted in the leadership review said they approved of Jason Kenney.

While this column indicates he may throw his hat into the ring for this leadership vote, I don't know, that must be some ego to do that.

Jason Kenney won the leadership review. The same percentage in a leadership race would have him win. He is not prevented from running, and his team demonstrated an amazing ability to turn people out while his opponents did not.
Wait until the week before nomination cutoff and say "I am very disappointed in the crazy, we need a centrist who can win" and he enters the race.

A part of me hopes he does, despite the fact that I'm not really a UCP voter, I'll take Kenny over most of the alternatives.

Yes all of the alternatives are bad. I shutter to think how much an NDP government would spend with oil prices over $100.

It could well happen … next move after that, Brian Jean leads a right-wing group out of the UCP caucus to reconstitute Wild Rose. That would likely force a snap election with Kenney competing for rural seats with Wild Rose, while also trying to replace centrist dissidents like Leela Aheer with loyalists to him.
