The UCP know they have nothing to gain by being involved in a debate. Same reason the PCs never really did debates or the federal CPC candidates. In Schweitzer’s case, he knows he just doesn’t have anything to gain, but has everything to lose. Clark can step his economic points without any of the UCP social baggage, Eremenko (who did pretty well in the Ward 11 debates, and in the overlapping neighbourhoods with Calgary-Elbow) has the ‘moral high ground.’
All that will happen with Schweitzer entering a debate this early is more Clark signs on the houses on Elbow Drive IMO.
