Yeah, I'm surprised Kenney is the front runner to lead the party. He was one of the big names for the Alliance and in the inner circle but lost the cabinet posting when Harper became PM. Rumour was he was a little too conservative for even their image (plus I think Harper wanted to reward some Quebec and eastern MP's to balance things more).
Kenney winning would be a step backwards, would it not?
Also, I'm surprised about the gay rumours. I thought he was big time anti-gay? One of those right wing religious nuts? Course, I guess a politician who is against gay rights actually being gay is hardly something we haven't run into before.
