text: Well, strange to reply to my own comment, but i ran out  of room. The most credible Conservative leadership candidate...in fact for myself the only credible candidate...is Lisa Raitt. She is smart, well informed, honest, works hard, and is relatively moderate compared to the likes of most of the competition. But sadly, i dont think she should be leader of the party unless she quickly learns to speak in both official languages.
  
   Too bad, because she really is impressive. In particular,i give her full marks for having helped Elizabeth May out of an embarrassing spot at that now rather infamous Press dinner. That was remarkable. Decent. Kind. Thoughtful. 
  
  In fact, i think she is clearly in the wrong party.To me, the Conservative Party IS OLeary, Chrisssssss "I wasnt Saying Lock her Up" Alexander, Kelly Leitch, Brad Trost, and of course Maxime Bernier.  All a pretty regrettable group. 
  
  The kind of lineup that make Justin Trudeau and even the NDP delighted.
