		Runciman indicated that his decision to once again toss his hat in the ring was based on encouragement from family, friends, colleagues and constituents and his continuing enjoyment of the job, but emphasized his wifeâs support as a deciding factor.

		And based on the story that local Tory MPP Bob Runciman has turned down the chance to run for the Alliance, the inoffensive Joe Jordan likely goes back for his second term.
		They have elected Bob Runciman for 20 years provincially, and now Runciman is the Chair of the Canadian Alliance's Ontario campaign.
