I hope you are right. I was beginning to get annoyed at the one dimensionality of Alberta and it's politics. Many of us (primarilly in the city) are not hardline social conservatives. I want to see a party that takes a (small 'L') liberal view on social issues and a conservative view on finances. Still waiting for this party to form.
Glad to see Stelmach get the nod. Morton would have misrepresented Alberta and thrown a few wrenches into the growth of power we are seeing for the West in the country. Dinning had been laying his roots and support for far to long... who knows what he owed to people.
First Dion, now Stelmach... Seems the day of the underdogs.
