PREMIER ED?!

Welcome to another edition of Convention Night In Canada. In our second half of the double-header the Alberta PCs are picking a Premier tonight.

And in the big shocker Ed Stelmach, who had the endorsement of most of the departing candidates who lost on the first ballot, is in the fight with Jim Dinning and could end up winning this thing. Dinning leads (thanks to those $5 instant Tories who wanted to stop Ted Morton because they thought he was too extreme), but Stelmach is a strong second and was actually running first for a while. If Ted Morton falls off the ballot ( and keep in mind that he says his southern base hasn't reported in yet), then Stelmach could end up winning.

Could we have another upset in the making? It looks like it!!! In fact it looks like we could be up all night counting.
