There’s a new poll <\/a>out today of Alberta PC members (in early November). In a race like this, I really <\/em>don’t trust the poll numbers, but it gives a sense of how the race is shapping up:<\/p>\n

Q: Of the eight candidates to replace Ralph Klein as PC leader, which one will you vote for?<\/strong>
Jim Dinning 21%
Ted Morton 18%
Lyle Oberg 11%
Ed Stelmach 10%
Mark Norris 7%
Dave Hancock 6%
Gary McPherson 2%
Victor Doerksen 1%
Don’t know 25%<\/p>\n

I’d like to point out that this is fairly close to my predictions <\/a>I made a few weeks back. Obviously, Morton has jumped ahead of Oberg due to his new jingle <\/a>and the fact that he’s not<\/em> a complete idiot.<\/p>\n

For those wanting to glance through my profiles, I’ve listed them bellow. I’ve also added a few “endorsements” for what they’re worth:<\/p>\n

Best for Alberta Liberal Party<\/strong>: Ted Morton
Best for Alberta Liberals: <\/strong>Lyle Oberg
If I had to pick a Premier:<\/strong> Dave Hancock
Best choice for the PC Party:<\/strong> Ed Stelmach<\/p>\n

Profiles<\/strong><\/u> <\/span>(with links to their websites)<\/em><\/p>\n

Dave Hancock <\/a>
Lyle Oberg <\/a>
Mark Norris<\/a>
Ted Morton<\/a>
Ed Stelmach <\/a>
Gary and Victor <\/a>
Jim Dinning<\/a><\/p>\n

MUSICAL UPDATE:<\/em><\/strong> I didn’t think anything could be worse than the Ted Morton song, but Jim Dinning seems to have one upped him. This one is truly horrific<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
