The latest news, only a month behind

With the Alberta PC Annual General Meeting underway today, and the leadership review of Ed Stelmach looming over the Alberta political scene, I thought this might be a good time to review the Twitter posts I made during the Wildrose Alliance Leadership Election Meeting held in Edmonton on October 17th. Enjoy:

  1. @ElectDanielle Stop twittering at the head table. ;-)9:09 AM Oct 17th from txt
  2. Wow. Danielle Smith is not the hottest woman in this room. She's not the second hottest either. #ableg #wap #hotass10:06 AM Oct 17th from txt
  3. I wish there was a session on antisocial media. #wap10:09 AM Oct 17th from txt
  4. Irony: social media session has the unattractive people, campaign building has attractive people. Play to strengths I guess.11:04 AM Oct 17th from txt
  5. @twaldo @hurtinalbertan No photos today b/c phone off during sessions. MC's gf is hottest. Gorgeous girl in white sweater 2nd place.11:07 AM Oct 17th from mobile web

  10. @sjtigers Road construction was a pain. Being so far from drinking & real food establishments was criminal. Truck's fuel bill not tiny. #wap12:26 PM Oct 17th from mobile web

  15. And of course Hinman, who looks vaguely like Michael York (the actor, not the hockey player) #wap12:59 PM Oct 17th from txt
  16. Paul: careful with the anecdotes. Some work, some don't. #wap (careful promoting Guy too) #ableg1:22 PM Oct 17th from txt

  19. If you were asking if Oscar Lacombe was here, the answer is yes. #wap1:49 PM Oct 17th from txt
