I don't know why my first post didn't turn up (or was deleted). Bourque knows all! If he says this is going to happen, I give it at least a 75 percent chance. Check it out at www.bourque.org.
From Bourque:
EXCLUSIVE: LORD TO RUN ... & STOCK DAY SAYS "NEVER SAY NEVER"
Bourque has learned that NB Premier Bernard Lord is all but set to launch his bid for the leadership of the new Conservative Party of Canada. Maritime sources tell Bourque under condition of anonymity that Lord will spend this weekend in a final contemplation about whther he will move to Ottawa. But, as on insider put it, "Pierre, even Bernard's wife is onside this time, she vetoed his move last time." That would pitch Lord against CA leader Stephen Harper and Calgary lawyer Jim Prentice, who is backed by former PC national director Susan Elliott. Final armtwisting is promised by politico Goldie Hyder, in New Brunswick tomorrow to meet with the Premier. If, as expected, Lord moves to Ottawa, Brad Green, the Min. of Justice, has apparently been tapped as interim leader, and Elvy Robichaud, the Min. of Health is the odds on fav. to win a leadership. Meanwhile, in a CFRA radio conversation late this afternoon, former CA leader Stockwell Day told Bourque he is not closing the door on a run for the leadership, admitting he has been approached by supporters looking to him to lead a united right. "I never say never, Pierre, and right now I am watching the race develop with interest." Developing.
