Only on candidate stands out...

Oberg will do as much for Ag as he always has which hasn't been much, take a look at his campaign platform it's pretty thin and empty on Ag. Nothing new, mostly empty platitudes.
2nd choice behind Ed is tough when it comes to AG.
I'd say it's a pretty dead heat between Norris , Morton and Dinning they've all had some interesting thoughts. If Oberg wins maybe Hung Pham can be the Ag Minister. Anybody would work with Ed, Doug Griffiths Ag minister if Dinning gets in. Norris would bring back who we've got now. And Morton would bring up someone from Cargill or ADM to run the new division.

As you said anyone can work with Ed, he has an excellent track record as a cabinet minister and it would be damn difficult to find anything bad to say about his personal conduct or his ability as an MLA/Minister. He has experience, has served as party whip which in itself is no small feat, keeping MLA's in line.

Doug Griffiths is a Dinning supporter, and Horner is a Norris supporter. Mark Norris would need to get elected if he became leader as would Dinning. Now Mark was defeated in the last election by a Liberal so his getting elected in Edmonton might pose a problem.

It is going to be a very interesting day, but one thing for sure, Rural Albertans are a hardy bunch, so if they support a particular candidate I am sure they will get out to vote.
