Does that help? He in fact touches on this subject on his website.

The budget is meaningless in all this because it was far after Jean decided to run for the leadership. Its not the budget that anyone was expecting really, and it wasn't a factor in his decision to run for the leadership.
When you read his rationalizing of why he wouldn't run for the Wildrose though its weird; he didn't want to run under Danielle, so he donated to Prentice. Then Danielle moved over to the PCs and he is disappointed in Prentice so he decides to join the Wildrose instead and run for leadership. He is disappointed and says that health is still a mess (I mean really...its been 6-8 months, so maybe his expectations were a little out of whack?)
Regardless, I obviously think its amusing and a bigger deal than the people who voted for him as leader. I do think that the Wildrose did the right thing in fast-tracking their leadership though. I don't think that anyone would vote for a party with no actual leader and that would've been pure destruction.
