Just to clarify, this comment must be regarding Stelmach. Given Kyle is 27 years old; I am pretty sure he has not held positions since he was 7 years old.

Prior to Stelmach winning the leadership, he was a virtual unknown to Albertans.

Similarly both Kyle and I are unknowns in Calgary North Hill. I would say the only ones that will benefit from name recognition would be Pat Murray, who has run here before and John Chan, who has run here federally.

I agree completely.

Partisan politics have gotten too petty. Whatever happened to "my worthy opponent?" Or is that just for concession speeches?
I have never said he was unworthy. Just that we are coming in on equal ground so far as individual name recognition. He does have benefit of party name recognition.
