Well its on, get ready for the mud slinging.

Who wins, who surprises?

Can Nutley be defeated? god help us if she and Turdo get back in. What if Mandel sneaks up the middle?

I see a lot of people I talk to don't like the dippers but don't like Kenney either. Hope there is some nose holding this time around so Nutley gets the boot. People can deal with Kenney through a leadership review in a years time. And what the hell is up with Brian Jean coming back with knives right now. I have lost some respect for Jean recently.

Going to be another exciting election in AB.

Not getting caught up in the BS to much. I know who I’m voting for, they could field an axe murder and I’d still not vote for the orange witch. I know their all crooked no madder what party, but I’ll take my chances with the UCP.

Best of luck. My only advice, don't take anything for granted. Your local candidate is most definitely looking for volunteers to knock on doors, put up/take down signs, host a meet and greet bbq, whatever. Elections can be won on the front lines, face to face with voters. Even if you can donate a few hours, it'll help your local candidate.

We ex pats are rootin' fer ya!

Two blue signs on my lawn. Just to pixx off the neighbor from Nova Scotia who never has a job, and the diversity neighbor's from who knows where burning toxic wood scraps in their back yard to bake their banana's. I kid you not. All who have orange signs on their lawn, enjoying the freeeeee stuff.

UCP member and my signs are coming. But some days I start to wonder if the blue ship is imploding? Signs of the “ ol boys club “ start to show and I’m thinking REALLY??? Can’t you guys have some positive press? Maybe keep the yap shut some days as this was what gave us 4 years of living hell in AB.

My signs will be up as soon as I get them. My country neighbors are all blue country people like me, you have to get closer to Edmonton to smell the red odor.

I'm hearing in almost every Nutley speech, a reference to Peter Lougheed. How crazy is that. Comparing what she has done to his legacy. His time was before I was old enough to care about politics but from what I know about him, she is grasping to align herself and party with him.

I think it’s just the media grabbing onto anything negative about the UCP. Pretty much the entire media network is unionized it’s just not in them to promote the conservative agenda. I can not watch main stream media anymore I refuse to. Global, CTV and CBC all turn my gut.

You can’t not have some of the old school attitude in the UCP and why not, thats grass roots conservatism why would we want to get away from it.

Took the dog for a walk around the neighborhood this morning and cold not believe how many orange signs are up. I think for some people if they get a smooth talker at the door then they will go with it. kinda scary

There are pockets of da-orange alright, but when your beating the other team by 15 goals, you want them to score 1 at least. If, if... we have to wear the orange jersey again, I’m thinking Sask-a-bush or maybe the Yukon.

I hear you Artie. Maybe you can load the dog up with some extra water to deliver the large amount of "pee mail" needed for those signs.

In my mind Jim Prentice lost the last election because he got to arrogant. The United Conservative Party has a lot of work to do and will need to show people they are a party for the people.
Way back when I was going to the university in Calgary I wrote a letter to the unknown Peter Lougheed. I was shocked and surprised when he showed up at my door. That is why he took over Alberta he was a people premier.
