  Alberta needs a new political image. Doug will bring a breath of fresh air to our democractic government and provide leadership for this province. His compassion, brilliance and belief in working with communties will inspire all Albertans!

  Doug Griffiths seems life a classy and intelligent person, he will do well wherever he runs. He seems to fit best with the AB Party as opposed to the Tories, but it is good to see people like him take a run at the leadership.

  BTW, Griffiths stands in contrast to people like “Bob London” (see earlier comment) who illustrate that the Wildrose Alliance is a magnet for a group of cranky and uninspiring people who are more likely to polarize our province and take us back to a time of mean spirited governance. Good luck Bob, your party will need if people like you are making the decisions on your future.

  Doug will be honest, he’ll tell the truth. He won’t win because Albertans can’t handle the truth.

• By William Munsey at February 14th, 2011

  Good luck, Doug. You will make it interesting… that’s for sure.

• By Alvin Finkel at February 15th, 2011

  He won’t win but not because Albertans “can’t handle the truth” but because the PC party has been dominated since Klein became leader by people on the far right. Dave Hancock’s poor performance in 2007 demonstrated this, and Griffith will also prove to be out of step with his party and government.

  I hope PC party members realize Doug Griffiths is their only hope. Some of the “old boys” need to wake up and smell the future.

  [...] This should make the PC leadership race an official barn burner. Griffiths has genuine charisma (the non-cheesy kind) and he just may be the “TSN turning point” in what many predict as the Tory free-fall in the coming years. [...]
