At least some conservatives called it out early like Barber. And I was in Ottawa for 3 weeks for the protest and conservatives supported us there. There is no other candidate that can win an election against the Libs. I voted for PPC last time around to send a meesage to the conservatives that we don't support O'Fool or anything like him and that caused a change for the better. I have met and talked to Pierre twice and he seems genuine enough to me. Time will tell if he doesn't get the ship turned around. Maxime is just not electable.
