Campaign bust raises eyebrows in Alberta

When it comes to politics, there's not a lot to say about the Canadian province of Alberta. That's out there in the west, home to roughnecks, rednecks and yahoos. It's also pretty much a one-party state [province! Ed.] -- that party being the Conservative Party.

Alberta Conservatives are... let's just say Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum would feel right at home there, if only they weren't Catholics. They've been in power forever...or maybe it just seems that way.

But, gentle readers, there is hope. There is an opposition party. That would be the Wildrose Party. And, believe it or not, the Wildrose Party has a female leader -- a hotty (by Alberta standards) named Danielle Smith

And Danielle has a brand new campaign bus, unveiled in Edmonton today. Here's what it looks like.

That should get some attention when it drives past the oil sands. Honk if you like `em boys. And good luck, Danielle!
