Of the three candidates, he was the least prepared, the least thoughtful, and as he admitted himself, the worst public speaker by far. He was so nervous trying to talk to the crowd that he wasn't even able to think of answers for several questions, literally saying he couldn't answer a question because he was too nervous.
The only thing he managed to say with any confidence was his promise to hold a separation referendum within 6 months of the election of any Liberal government federally. That didn't resonate at all with the crowd, and I doubt Willerton's more extreme views will help Dryholm at all.
If I were to have any doubts before, Willerton's support of Dryholm cemented my support for Smith. Alberta does need a legitimate alternative, and Dryholm isn't it. I'd say that was the overwhelming sentiment of the crowd too, as she was given a standing ovation both when she opened and wrapped up her closing speech.
