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?

AWGB said...: 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.; Thursday, June 09, 2005 3:52:00 a.m.

3. Steve West; Thursday, June 09, 2005 3:15:00 p.m.
daveberta said...: 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.; Thursday, June 09, 2005 6:37:00 p.m.

I never ran for Mayor in any City.

Broconnier merely got upset with PGIB about our billboards.; Tuesday, October 10, 2006 12:41:00 a.m.
