Here’s a convenient list of information on the PC leadership race, as well as my predictions for the first ballot:
Profiles (with links to their websites)
Dave Hancock
Lyle Oberg
Mark Norris
Ted Morton
Ed Stelmach
Gary and Victor
Jim Dinning
Rules: There are no rules
Official Site: www.albertapc.ab.ca
When They Vote: November 25th. If no one gets over 50%, a second ballot with the top 3 contenders will be held December 2nd – the same day the federal Liberals pick their new leader.

Prediction:
1. Dinning (35 to 40%)
2. Oberg
3. Morton
4. Stelmach
5. Norris
6. Hancock
7. Victor Doerksen
8. Gary McPherson
It wouldn’t surprise me to see one or two drop off between now and voting day. If we get that final three, I think that would all but assure a Dinning win on the second ballot.
