Well, fellow agrivillers , what you think? I vote for
Dr. Sherman as outstanding.

[parsley]

Redford showed her haughtiness, but then she
got gangbanged. NDP presented his position
clearly; a dogged policyman, can't recall his
name. Somebody should have a banjo shoved
down his throat for the Alabama remark. Smith
took it. Any other conclusions? LOL Pars

[parsley]

I should have Sherman, not "his" for the Alabama
remark. Too much watch. Not enough type. Pars

I think Danielle stood up well given her inexperience
in this type of forum. A reminder though of the
insignificance of the rural vote - the issue of property
rights, the infamous land bills that most of us
associate as the strength behind the Wildrose never
got a mention.
I don't think there was a clear winner.

Clear who didn't win - Redford! Smith was very
composed, focused and on message. Probably wins
the most. Sherman gets the Oscar for most sincere
and visionary. Mason is the everyman's hero. At
least we're having a real friggin election for a
change. Redford is toast because of the 20 years of
baggage she carries. As of tonight, I speculate a
minority outcome, likely Wildrose, which doesn't
bother me because having watched a lot of question
period this winter, all 3 opposition parties worked
with each other , supported each other and worked
well together. But then - this is Alberta, who knows.

Did you notice not a word about oil, the Oil Sands
or environment!

I didnt see Redford get hammered on the fake
committees, did you? I may have missed that
issue.

[parsley]

Yes she did. and on the pay issue. and on the
healthcare issue and on the deficit issue.....you
get the drift. LOL AR was a wet hen. Pars

[rockpile]

Parsley, Mason brought up the point about
supporting Keystone and Gateway if refined
products were to be exported only and jobs were
created in Alberta in refining. Redford got trashed
over the do nothing committees more than once.
Interesting observation afterwards when checking
out a post debate blog. Majority thought Redford
was the winner (CTV). The bottom line is Albertans
all talk like they are Libertarians and right wing
conservatives, but at the end of the day they act
more like Dippers and Libs. Always been like that.

I missed Mason's oil comments. Thanks for that.
