I'm really not comfortable with a company knowing how I vote in an election, #pcldr or otherwise. #ableg

McIver eh! Looks like another Klein. We don't need another Klein. Will every #pcaa #pcldr candidate be from #yyc ? #abpoli #yeg #ableg

Glad to see my friend @RicMcIver in the #PCAA race. He knows who the boss is. Congratulations & good luck. Now it's a race. #abpoli

#pcldr is comedic. No one can extricate themselves from current state b/c they lacked courage to speak out when they shd have #ableg #abpoli

I may have been too quick to judge @RicMcIver #pcldr . To my PC buds: I'm not going to buy a membership but maybe you should read up on him?

Chairing the largest PCAA Premiers dinner in history will serve Prentice well with party membership. #pcldr

The PC Party is down, but it's far from out, Rick Bell writes. Dave Hancock apologizes again ow.ly/wEVDT #pcldr #ableg

Oh yeah. Watch & listen as @scodonnell @mariamdena & I school @Graham_Journal - just a little bit. edmontonjournal.com/news/alberta-p… #ableg #pcldr

If Prentice is this coy about declaring his #pcaa #pcldr run should we expect any more clarity as Premier? #gameplayer #harpercon #ableg

Justice Minister Jonathan Denis won’t run in Alberta PC leadership race #pcldr #abpoli #abgov #ableg ow.ly/wJVMj

by Global Edmonton via twitter 5/12/2014 12:36:28 PM
Ric McIver is now lone declared candidate for PC leadership. Ken Hughes steps aside, endorsing soon-to-declare Jim Prentice. #pcldr #yeg

by CitytvEdmonton via twitter 5/12/2014 1:36:25 PM
Sounds like back room politics as per usual. #pcldr #ableg

by edwinmundt via twitter 5/12/2014 1:36:58 PM
I wonder if they are endorsing @JimPrentice 's vision for AB or his #pcldr bid? He has yet to mention either. #strange #ableg #yyc

by AlbertaAltruist via twitter 5/12/2014 1:39:29 PM
Ken Hughes no longer running in Alberta PC leadership race; endorsing Jim Prentice instead: ow.ly/wK7Uv #pcldr #abpoli #abgov

by Global Edmonton via twitter 5/12/2014 1:43:05 PM
Ken Hughes drops out of the Tory leadership race and throws his support behind Jim Prentice ow.ly/wK55J #ableg #pcldr

by Calgary Sun via twitter 5/12/2014 1:45:04 PM
Is @RicMcIver going against the grain by continuing his run for #pcldr ? #ableg #yyc #yeg

by Michael Lumsden via twitter 5/12/2014 1:47:04 PM
What has become apparent is that the only thing that the PCs care about is self preservation at any cost. Sad. #ableg #pcldr

by mandirondeau via twitter 5/12/2014 1:49:20 PM
A good friend & a gentleman @KenHughesAB decides to drop out of #pcldr & to support @JimPrentice . Ken has much to offer Alberta & Canada

by Steve Armstrong via twitter 5/12/2014 1:52:16 PM
Ken Hughes statement: "There is a growing consensus that Jim Prentice is the leader Alberta needs...I will not be a candidate" #ableg #pcldr

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/12/2014 1:53:35 PM
Does he get his money and old job back? RT @davecournoyer : @KenHughesAB has dropped out of the #pcldr race and has endorsed Jim Prentice

by celticperegrini via twitter 5/12/2014 1:54:21 PM
. @MinisterJono endorsing Bay Street Jim over his close friend @RicMcIver means #pcldr will be a coronation. #ableg

by BrockWHarrison via twitter 5/12/2014 1:55:28 PM
Wow! "@metrocalgary : BREAKING: Ken Hughes withdraws from the race for the #pcldr . Backs Jim Prentice for leader. #yyc #yeg #ableg "

by A2_AliAbel via twitter 5/12/2014 1:56:31 PM
Justice Minister Denis won't run, also supports Jom Prentice. So #pcldr has two candidates right now. calgaryherald.com/touch/story.ht… #ableg #yyc

by ChrisVarcoe via twitter 5/12/2014 2:01:04 PM
So did Jim Prentice actually announce that he was running while I was in the shower? #ableg #pcldr

by psimons via twitter 5/12/2014 2:01:43 PM
Question why doesn't Prentice take charge of the #pcaa , save the party thousands of dollars and get back to the AB Legislature.#pcldr #joke

by Jack via twitter 5/12/2014 2:09:27 PM
With all apologies to Ralph, at some point will we just start calling Prentice 'King Jim'? #yeg #ableg #pcldr #acclamation

Me: Ken Hughes just dropped out of the #pcldr race. Everyone: Who? #ableg

by phendrana via twitter 5/12/2014 2:13:10 PM
I must say, no "anonymous source close to Jim Prentice" has ever called me to tell me JP was running. #ableg #pcldr

by psimons via twitter 5/12/2014 2:13:33 PM
So it always seemed a Hughes run for #pcldr didn't make sense with Prentice in the race. Guess that was proven today. #ableg

by James Wood via twitter 5/12/2014 2:25:45 PM
Ken Hughes has dropped out of the #pcldr race saying he will support Jim Prentice, who's yet to announce his candidacy #cdnpoli #abpoli #yeg

Just promised @MinisterJono a cabinet position. #ableg #pcldr vine.co/v/Mg0Ph657Zzd

by Jim Pretentious via twitter 5/12/2014 10:40:20 PM
It's starting to look as though Tories want a unanimous coronation for Prentice. But is that actually good strategy for them? #ableg #pcldr

by psimons via twitter 5/12/2014 10:42:57 PM
Policy. POLICY. My KINGDOM for a substantive policy discussion before we just declare this thing "over"... #pcldr

by oberhoffner via twitter 5/12/2014 10:50:30 PM
Sure, Prentice anointment would show party unity. But at what cost, PR-wise? Wouldn't a good race be better for #pcaa itself? #ableg #pcldr
