The King Is Dead
“Such an era seemed unattainable for so many years under the arrogant and neglectful federal Liberals,” he said.
UPDATE: 55%. Ralph is toast. Time for yet another leadership race...
THE MORNING AFTER: My hunch is that Ralph isn't in great shape this morning, but I certainly feel fine. I would have actually preferred that he stay on since the longer he stayed, the more damage we'd see done to the provincial PCs. And, if nothing else, he's a damn entertaining guy. But I certainly won't shed any tears over his demise.
Despite all Klein has done, the only way to explain such an incredibly low number is that the Jim Dinning people made it clear to their delegates that it was time to gas Klein. They were obviously a bit more discrete about it than Lyle Oberg, but Dinning must have got tired of waiting and decided to go for the jugular.
So thanks for the memories Ralph - let the blood letting begin!

Whoa, nevermind. 55%? I knew it was going to be anemic, but daaamn, that was a good 10 or 15 points weaker than I expected.
That's an awful, awful percentage. I have mixed feelings about it--I'm glad that Klein got a slap in the face, but I also kinda secretly want him to stay around to the Alberta Tories would be engaged in another couple years of vicious infighting. (It's a joy to watch.)

I wonder if he's doomed to leave without any dignity now?

These results are real, right? This isn't Alberta's version of an April Fool's joke?

Holy cow! I never would have expected Ralph to do so miserably. What is going to happen now? A leadership race? A revolt? Should be interesting!

Ouch. So, he'll be gone by 2007?

The only joke is Klein. It's about damn time his supporters realized it's time for a change here.

Hopefully he will regain some of his legendary sense and retire with an emphasis on a humble expression of pride.

The funniest thing is that last weekend or the one before, Rod Love and some other Cons, was on CBC Newworld Saturday or Sunday and they were bragging about how unlike the Federal Liberals, the Alberta Cons are a nice bunch and would let Klein go to the end of his 2007 and how he deserves it :-)
Anyhooo, first thing that happens next week, is that Oberg gets fired by caucus and then, Klein gets booted it out :-)..BTW, I think the deputy Premier must be feeling like shit now too..She was one of Klein's main suckers.. :-)

I sincerely hope that the neverending leadership squabble is replaced by a suitably Richard III-esque sequel as the PCs wake up to a regicidal new leader in X months time.

Not Jim Dinning's folks...more likely Harper's friends making sure he doesn't get blind-sided as he prepares for an election next spring.

Yet somehow even with all this, Liberals will again fail to capitalize and form a government.
