I'm not necessarily voting Horner today, but lets get a couple of things straight about him.

1) He is not an unknown. In fact, he's probably one of the more known candidates in the race. His father was a long time high ranking, well respected conservative, and Horner is a chip off the old block. He is extremely EXTREMELY well respected by people in government and is known to be a Cabinet minister who is always well prepared, asks good, challenging questions, and capable of sophisticated analysis.

2) If he wins, it isn't because of infighting. It's because he's going to get the majority of the Edmonton vote and will have moderate candidates who did not make the second ballot go over to his campaign. If he makes the second ballot and redford does not, my bet is that she will support Horner. Vice versa as well.
