While Hudak can’t be expected to lead solutions to “the 99 problems that have arisen during Dalton's reign”; however, he needs to focus on a few priorities that he can reshape and hammer home. These priorities do not even necessarily have to become passed legislation in this term, perhaps only achieving voter momentum over the next 4 years on these priorities should be deemed a success and then point to those as actionable items in the next election campaign. Conservative ideas need to be sold and that takes time and effort and leadership.<br /><br />nomdeblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
