There’s a new poll out today of Alberta PC members (in early November). In a race like this, I really don’t trust the poll numbers, but it gives a sense of how the race is shapping up:

Q: Of the eight candidates to replace Ralph Klein as PC leader, which one will you vote for?
Jim Dinning 21%
Ted Morton 18%
Lyle Oberg 11%
Ed Stelmach 10%
Mark Norris 7%
Dave Hancock 6%
Gary McPherson 2%
Victor Doerksen 1%
Don’t know 25%

I’d like to point out that this is fairly close to my predictions I made a few weeks back. Obviously, Morton has jumped ahead of Oberg due to his new jingle and the fact that he’s not a complete idiot.

For those wanting to glance through my profiles, I’ve listed them bellow. I’ve also added a few “endorsements” for what they’re worth:

Best for Alberta Liberal Party: Ted Morton
Best for Alberta Liberals: Lyle Oberg
If I had to pick a Premier: Dave Hancock
Best choice for the PC Party: Ed Stelmach

MUSICAL UPDATE: I didn’t think anything could be worse than the Ted Morton song, but Jim Dinning seems to have one upped him. This one is truly horrific.
