Hypothetical =/= invalid. Hypothetical situations are indeed very valid in debating.
Do you think that someone like her would still win a riding in Alberta despite her background? Would it have been an issue? I think you're kidding yourself if you think the Conservatives don't keep few oafs in strongholds where they know nothing is going to stop people from voting for them.
