Fiscal conservatism, like Danielle Smith is proposing is needed, but what the other two hopefuls don't get, is that most Albertans don't care for morality laws or 'family values'. We just want to be left alone.

When I became part of the team, this was something that was discussed. The response went something like this:
We are a grassroots party dependant on the voice of the people for support. If someone is willing to run, the people of the party need to decide whether or not they should win... It is not up to the leadership committee to 'elect' a leader... that's not democracy.
As a side note, if you want to listen to the candidates speak, and potentially hear via crowd noise who gets the support, I might suggest heading down to the Blackfoot Inn at 7:30 on Wednesday for the leadership forum. The one in Edmonton last night was quite a success... estimates are anywhere between 200 and 275 attendees.
