12 Tories throw support behind Deputy PM Anne McLellan's re-election bid
Deputy Prime Minister Anne McLellan, facing what could be the tightest in a string of squeaker campaign victories, was to get some support Wednesday from an unlikely source.Twelve Progressive Conservatives, including four former Alberta cabinet ministers, announced they will work to get McLellan re-elected in the re-distributed riding of Edmonton Centre.
"We have taken this unprecedented step because it is clear that Anne McLellan has been an especially strong and effective voice for Alberta," former cabinet minister Dennis Anderson said in a release.

Yesterday it was Liberals supporting an NDP candidate, today it's Tories backing a Liberal cabinet minister. At this point, I think they're all just trying to confuse us.
Or maybe they all took this Fraser Institute report to heart and they're seeing things in a different way these days.
Well considering these aren't members of the Conservative party, and rather are disgruntled old PC members, I see it as a natural thing. It's rather like Joe Clark supporting the grits - not at all dissention in the ranks, unlike those silly Keystone Kops.
