Will Ralph Klein Resign - Now?

The Calgary Herald reports that only 55% of his provincial party delegates voted to support his continuing as party leader until his previously announced deadline of October 2007. His spokesperson was quoted as saying, "He was a little shocked, and dare say, a little hurt," she said. "It's up to the premier to decide what he wants to do." Klein in his speech to the more than 1000 party faithfull at the Conservative convention said , "I ask you to give me -- for one final time -- your endorsement to achieve what I have laid out for the duration of this mandate,". We suggest he gracefully leave now and not at the end of 2007 as he planned.
