But.... if and when there is a Conservative leadership convention (which probably won't happen til Harper is defeated or his minority government is significantly reduced in the number of seats), I expect McKay will run, maybe the former premier of NB, Bernard Lord, I've always been impressed with Moore from BC (as to the way he handles himself), and who know... maybe even Charest from Quebec.
I'm sure we will also getting a few Ontario MP's that will throw their hat in the ring.

Charest's time in federal politics is over. Going to throw a different name out there from Quebec.
If the conservatives ever want to make any strides in Quebec they must get Mario Dumont on their side. He's young, charismatic and his poilicies are right of centre (exactly like Harper's). The party that he single-handedly lead to a near victory in the last Quebec election is now falling apart with his MNA's crossing the floor after Dumont's support of Harper in the last federal election. The ADQ will probably get destroyed tonight and it's would be the right time for Dumont to jump.
