What are people's thoughts on here? I know there seems to be a lot of Morton and Dinning supporters, but I'm curious to know what people think of Stelmach.
I like the fact that he handled 4 different Cabinet positions well. I like his stand on education and his willingness to review the tar sands royalty system.
I do think he needs to improve in the public speaking aspect as he struggled during the last debate. I'm interested in watching Thursday to see what happens, but I think Morton will focus hard on Dinning and Dinning is trying to proclaim that he is the only alternative to a Morton Alberta.

Well I don't know a whole lot about Stelmach other than his ideas seem pretty close to Dinnings. He doesn't seem to have many details on his website concerning his ideas but I don't have as much concern about Stelmach as Dinning. I do know that I have a couple of friends who are voting for Stelmach and they seem to like him.
I am a Morton supporter but will likely be putting Stelmach as my second choice. The fact that he doesn't seem to be great at public speaking is somewhat of a concern to me because he will need to be able to hold his own when he meets with the rest of the Premiers and has to negotiate with other levels of government.
I am also looking forward to the debate on Thursday.
