There's absolutely ZERO chance that Anders becomes the next WRP leader. If he's even on the ballot, I -- a latte-sipping small-l liberal -- will personally buy a party membership just so I can vote against him.
Assuming Smith's upcoming presser is to announce her resignation (what else could it be?), I have no idea who will replace her. Does the WRP have any star candidates waiting in the wings? Someone capable and experienced enough to take on Prentice in a general election? I honestly can't think of anyone. Maybe Jason Kenney, but I think he has eyes on the federal CPC leadership if/when Harper loses an election and resigns.
