who would spice things up?

Here are my suggestions of people who could spice up the Alberta PC Leadership Race:

Craig Chandler- The CEO of Concerned Christians Canada and 2003 Federal PC Leadership candidate. Was an also-ran in Hamilton Mountain for the Reform Party in 1993 and in Calgary West during the 1997 Alberta Election as a Social Credit candidate.

Jason Kenney- Part-time MP for Calgary Southeast and full-time bulldog for the Christian-right.

Preston Manning- From the "Blast from the Past" section, this former Reform Leader would bring about 9000% more IQ to the race.

Stockwell Day- Former Alberta MLA, Alliance Leader, current BC Tory MP and crazy Foreign Affairs Critic. I know it's a LONG LONG LONG-shot, but it would be sooo entertaining.


Anybody have other suggestions?

    chandler ran against bronconnier for mayor of calgary a few years ago. it was highly entertaining and there were even a few death threats.

    other candidates:
    1. danielle smith from global news
    2. a potted plant (the party needs some intellectual renewal. )
    3. ken king (ceo of calgary flames and former publisher of calgary sun)

    Good call with Danielle Smith. That would be fun.

    I would recommend a hardy "dracina" for the potted plant.

    My offerings:

    K.D. Lang - she sings well and she's gay. Not sure what implication that has other than like old Stock, it would be entertaining.

    Gilles Duceppe - Yessss! What a surprise that would be.

    Ben Mulroney - silver-spoon-son-of-B-Mulls. Our next Alberta Idol.

    Good Calls by all.

    Neil Waugh would be a very interesting pick. He could wear his fishing hat during the Leadership Debates :P

    Deb Grey would run a really good race.

    Robert Mcbean does not have his facts correct!

    I never ran for Mayor in any City.

    Broconnier merely got upset with PGIB about our billboards.
