Mr. Smith is out of Washington…with a six figure severance package<\/a>, despite leaving his posting early by his own choosing. Man, I would totally be gunning for that job if it wasn’t for the fact that you need to be a Tory Cabinet Minister to get it.<\/p>\n

Also out <\/a>is Minister of Finance Lyle Oberg<\/span><\/a> (AKA Skeletor<\/span>), after feuding with Stelmach<\/span> for most of 2007.<\/p>\n

Possibly in, however, is Craig Chandler ally David Crutcher<\/span> who has announced his intention to run<\/a> for the Calgary Egmont<\/span> nomination his buddy was DQ’d<\/span> from:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After last week’s ruling, Chandler denounced the party and accused it of intolerance toward people of faith.<\/p>\n

Crutcher<\/span> said he shares Chandler’s belief system, and that’s why he’s testing the democracy waters with his nomination bid.<\/p>\n

But he wants the party’s affirmation up front that it will accept his candidacy, so that he isn’t saddled with the bills of a rejected bid.<\/p>\n

Chandler says he plans to sue the Alberta Progressive Conservatives for the $127,000 he claims he spent on his campaign to secure the party’s nomination.<\/p>\n

“What I don’t want to do is go through the same thing that Craig Chandler did, where he put a lot of time and money into winning a nomination only to be told he can’t run,” Crutcher<\/span> said.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the premier said nominations are a party matter and declined comment.
