The Alberta Leaders’ Debate
I watched the debate between the party leaders this evening, and couldn’t help but laugh at most of it. I mean, it was classic schoolyard bull-crap.
Admittedly, after the first portion of the debate, they (mostly) stopped trying to talk over top of one another. Perhaps Lynda Steele gave them a stern talking to during the break.
For many people, the leadership debate likely helped them decide who to vote for, if they hadn’t already decided. For me, the opposite is true.
Until tonight, I was about 99% sure of who I was going to vote for. After watching the debate, I’m not sure his party is the best choice for Alberta.
I still think the person in question (again, I won’t name him, because I’m trying to keep the blog semi-neutral) is the best candidate for my riding. But, I know that voting for the party, rather than the candidate, is often the more sensible and pragmatic thing to do.
The candidate is, in my opinion, the best one for the job. But, the party? I honestly don’t think so.
What about you? Did watching the debate help you make your decision, or are you still undecided who you’re going to vote for on March 3, 2008?
