Jim Prentice would be a solid leader, but I doubt we'll ever see him back in politics. That's not to say he wouldn't be welcomed back, imo.
As I've said in the past, it will likely depend on what the Liberals do. If they put young Trudeau up, the Conservatives will match the move to youth with Peter McKay. Frankly, I think Peter McKay could be a helluva leader.
If Bob Rae (or type) is the next Liberal Leader, I think we'd be looking at Flaherty.
One guy that I'd like to suggest (and likely get laughed at) as a potential dark horse, Lee Richardson. Long time ties to Progressive Conservative roots, decades in Ottawa, well respected and pretty clean (to my knowledge). Doesn't hurt that he's a smart, level headed guy either.
