The Urbanites have always blamed the Rural vote for keeping these old white guys around, they even wanted to take out some rural ridings and add them to the city vote. If it wasn't for the rural vote in 2012 the Liberals may have been the opposition, what part of the plan do you guys not understand.
Replace this whiny bitch and you'll probably get more of us old white guys on board.

The problem isn't Smith - it's the Wildrose. They don't have a platform other than "tohse other guys who we used to be a part of are bad!"
If they replace Smith, they'll lose the next election - she is the only thing keeping the social conservatives in check. The PCs are desperately hoping they replace her so more Lake of Fire candidates run in the next election.
