Phendrana Drifts

All who know me well know I was pleased as pleased could be with an opinion article by the Gateway (U of A's campus newspaper) editor-in-chief yesterday.

"Speaking of somber attire, Victor Doerksen’s getup was as austere as his personality, while Dave Hancock stood out with his patterned tie and tan pants. Dave wasn’t all glamour and glitz, though: the only candidate to speak confidently without notes, his grasp of the issues went beyond the minutiae without devolving into generalizations — well, most of the time anyway... Most candidates lacked either a pulse or a grasp of the issues, but few had both. If all of Alberta were to vote for the new Conservative leader, I would guess (or maybe hope) that Hancock would get the nod. But based on the last night’s audience and each candidate’s charisma, I expect Dinning will be the one to lead the PCs into a general election. So, if Dinning isn’t your man, this isn’t the time to be an ideologue: go out, spend $5 on a Conservative membership, and vote for the leader of your choice. Because we all know that here in Alberta, the PC leadership convention is the real election."

Of course, I feel a lot stronger about both Dave and my party and this process than Matt, good words.
