There has been a constant stream of pro-Ashton comments on our posts ever since we started this blog, and this is what we have to say about that:
We know Steve Ashton. He is more than a casual acquaintance. Is Steve a nice and smart man? For sure. Is he a competent minister? You betcha. Next leader of our party? Come on...
We'd rather see Nikki take a run at this one!

Rumours etc.
Well, we have to clear the air. Many followers have emailed us asking if the rumours of Theresa moving to the USA are true. Well, they're just not true and they could very well be spread by potential rivals. From what we hear Sam is staying put.
And we're going to caution EVERYONE in the party not to pay attention to what the Black Rod says.

Why Theresa?
We've already said many of the reasons why Theresa should get the top job, but here are a few more to think about as the leadership race gets going:
- She has the ability to stand up to opposition and media scrutiny - just look at how she handled the unfair attacks over the Brian Sinclair tragedy
- A suburban mother has better judgment and can relate better than some of the older guys in our Party
- She'll have the best hair in the field!
- Having won two elections in a hard seat she has the chops for the job
Draft Theresa Oswald back in high gear!
For Immediate Release
Winnipeg – with the retirement of Gary Doer, the Draft Theresa Oswald blog is back up and running. Minister Oswald has been a strong and reliable member of the Doer Government, and it is now her turn to lead. She has the proven track record of winning in a traditional Tory constituency and appealing to moderate Winnipeg voters. Simply put, Oswald is the only candidate that can continue Gary Doer’s momentum of strong, moderate and proven leadership.
The Draft Theresa Oswald team is a collection of party members committed to making Theresa leader of our party. Now is the time for Manitoba to join the 21st century in electing the first female Premier.
The Leadership election, to replace Doer, will be held this fall, under a delegated vote. All party members will be eligible to cast their votes to select delegates. Membership can be purchased by calling 1-877-863-2976.
