LET'S DRAFT BEN MULRONEY: PRIME MINISTER

| HOME | NEXT |

The Toronto Sun
HOW ABOUT young Ben Mulroney for Joe Clark's replacement as Progressive Conservative leader? He's photogenic and smart as a whip. I think hard-working Canadians would appreciate his youthful vigour and instant trust factor. Having Brian Mulroney as his dad is a plus, since Ben has zero political baggage and has learned from his dad's mistakes. He would be an awesome Progressive Conservative opponent who could make Paul Martin and Jean Chretien look like a couple of hangers-on, well past their political prime. Ben Mulroney could be the start of another PC dynasty.
(As a Sun columnist, Ben has no baggage, but as a politician with that family name ...)
The Edmonton Sun
Joe Clark is a brilliant strategist and a political leader of great honour. Jean Chretien now has to call an early election or be eaten alive by Paul Martin, thanks to infighting within his panicky caucus. Chretien must surely realize the jig is up. How about young Ben Mulroney for prime minister? He's photogenic and smart as a whip. I think Canadians would appreciate his youthful vigour and instant trust factor. Having Brian Mulroney as his dad is a plus. Ben has zero political baggage and has learned from his dad's mistakes. He would be an awesome Progressive Conservative opponent who could make Martin and Chretien look like a couple of hangers-on. Ben could be the start of another Progressive Conservative dynasty with a little help from Clark. Let's start the Draft Ben Mulroney for Prime Minister campaign. Spread the word, the Progressive Conservative dynasty has begun.
(The Sun would lose a great columnist.)
The Ottawa Sun
The Right Hon. Joe Clark is a brilliant strategist and political leader of great honor. Chretien now has to call an early election or be eaten alive by Paul Martin thanks to infighting within his panicky caucus. Jean Chretien must surely realize the jig is up.
