I have to admit, I really didn't care much for provincial politics before. I guess when you have it good, you don't really have to put too much effort in. But now, with Ralph on his way out, I've started to pay more attention.
I didn't know much about a lot of the PC leadership candidates, and once I knew more, I was still kind of... blah. Nothing really exciting there. It seems Jim Dinning has a bit of a lead, but I'm not hugely enthusiastic about him. No one else really catches my imagination.
But when I heard this, I started paying a lot more attention. I have tons of respect for Mr. Manning, and I really like the more environmental edge he's picked up lately. My brother sent me this "Manning for Premier" website this morning. I'm in. I can't donate (gotta take care of those student loans), but I will sure as heck volunteer. Well, as much as I can before the baby comes, anyways.
Does anyone know how the PC party runs its leadership election? Is it one-member-one-vote, or is it by delegates? I tried to find out on their website but it's surprisingly short on detail.
