Very exciting. The progressive part of PC may finally mean something.

by Tank 10/2/2011 4:51:54 AM
Can someone explain the second voting choice to me please?

by HappyLinda77 10/2/2011 4:52:33 AM
If a candidate does not get more than 50% of the vote after the first ballot, the second choice of voters must be counted before a winner can be determined.

So what DID Mar do in Washington??? Anyone know? What measurable deliverables did he actually provide?

by Just me 10/2/2011 4:55:41 AM
presently our health care needs some fixing, all managers have more assisstant managers under them again....back the way it used to be prior to health care cuts. Very bloated management system

Alison Redford, she is not the right choice, never did her job before and would screw up being leader of the PC party

by adj 10/2/2011 4:55:48 AM
When Dinning lost in '06, Gary left to sulk in Washington, D.C.

by David 10/2/2011 4:55:50 AM
if you vote Alison redford....she promised to CHANGE education in TEN DAYS... you think she can do that in ten days ?

by Go Gary Go! 10/2/2011 4:55:52 AM
the new premier will be from wildrose party very soon.

by aaa 10/2/2011 4:55:54 AM
i live in rural Alberta, and heard not a single word from Alison about me and rural province. Gary Mar came out, knew we exsisted unlike Redford. So for that, Mar has my vote forever!

let's see the news on Global in 5!

It's time to try something completely different. Doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result is the definition of insanity (A. Einstein). C'mon, Doug. Please, throw your support over to Alison. She deserves this chance.

by Tina 10/2/2011 4:56:04 AM
where was mar before the race ?

GoGaryGo - she did not promise to CHANGE education, she promised to restore the funding - huge difference

by JennyManyDots 10/2/2011 4:57:12 AM
"Redford" currently the only candidate trending in #yeg right now for #ab #pcldr vote.

by Global Edmonton via twitter 10/2/2011 4:58:56 AM
those edmontonians just don't know how to vote

by JennyManyDots 10/2/2011 4:59:41 AM
where was mar before the race? Came back to save us poor dummies maybe

by ponnch3 10/2/2011 4:59:43 AM
Where was Gary??? Living high off the Alberta tax money in Washington having big parties and schmoozing...not here.

by luv-n-laughter 10/2/2011 4:59:47 AM
JennyManyDots-------no that was not how she said it.....

by Go Gary Go! 10/2/2011 4:59:49 AM
big numbers for mar in edmonton advanced poll

by Kayla 10/2/2011 4:59:52 AM
Jenny where will she get $100 million in 10 days when there is a huge deficit in this province? Higher taxes? Spending cuts elsewhere? That kind of Money isn't laying around somewhere unused.

by Interesting 10/2/2011 4:59:55 AM
when it comes to the "second ballot" - it is only the 3rd place persons' ballots (in this case likely Horner) that would be re-counted...so whomever those voters put as #2 will then get allocated.

@VassyKapelos is a journalistic rock star. I'm so up to date on the Alberta #pcldr race I feel like I'm back home in #YEG

JennyManyDots ------ when she said that during debates.....everyone in myhouse ....supported her or not.....all shaked their heads.....

by Go Gary Go! 10/2/2011 5:01:32 AM
End result matters not. Tories are so done but at least they realized that Mar is all about Mar

by marcia666 10/2/2011 5:01:33 AM
Alison's education "change" is only about giving $100 mil to people with kids!

by po'd 10/2/2011 5:01:35 AM
It was the Global TV debate that started the big shift to Redford. She was the clear winner. clear vision.

by Tank 10/2/2011 5:01:39 AM
Check out the Bio's on these three. Redford has more experience province-wide, nationally and internationaly

and in TEN DAYS!!!!

by Go Gary Go! 10/2/2011 5:01:46 AM
We are in BIG trouble if Mar wins as he BUYS his votes and BRIBES the lossers to his side!!!!!!!!

by glo girl 10/2/2011 5:01:48 AM
Redford does need to make up some serious ground, through. Hopefully Horner's supporters all listed her as their 2nd choice.

by Me 10/2/2011 5:01:51 AM
If you vote Mar it's back to the good old boys club. Same ol same ol.

by Bes5550 10/2/2011 5:01:53 AM
@Just me...he did nothing except schmooze and have cocktail parties.

by luv-n-laughter 10/2/2011 5:01:58 AM
GoGaryGo - the Herald reported today that Mar's position was to restore funding over 6 months. I'd rather have it sooner, it's still coming from the same coffer

JennyManyDots ----that is called REALISTIC ----- we don't live in a fairy tale

by Go Gary Go! 10/2/2011 5:04:13 AM
I know how smart and clever she is. I also know that our hospitals and social services are really struggling and Redford is supportive of making a difference. I work in the area so really need her to be the one. Mar is a populist and does what ever gets him the brownie points.

by What makes you think that... 10/2/2011 5:04:19 AM
Such a move against Mar... Could be problems if he was elected, but it looks good for Redford. GO REDFORD!
