	London Free Press Columnist: hip Martin - Southwest PCs, Tory must get in synch
		The surprise was the strong finish by Frank Klees, the MPP from Oak Ridges north of Toronto, a former transportation minister and least well-known of the three candidates.
		Klees ran third provincewide and was dropped for the second round of counting.
		He said support for Klees and Flaherty was "not an anti-John (Tory) vote." In rural Ontario, Hardeman said, Tory was more closely associated with Toronto than his rivals, partly because of his run for Toronto mayor last fall.

		As Mr Klees suggested, when they get to this committee and they are this supportable, we should immediately get on with the vote and pass this into legislation so Richmond Hill can protect their historical identity.

	Radwanski's Ramblings
		But Frank actually used his corporate contacts to organize a job-fair for ex-politicos.
		This is all working to Tory's benefit - Frank is draining support from Jim, and Tory is being seen as the "Ernie we should have elected.” There is no risk of Tory asking the same campaign team to run his camp.
		This happens to at least one candidate per leadership (the disarray part, not getting smacked around by Frank Klees), but what makes this a bit peculiar is that, until a few months ago, Flaherty was actually considered the favourite.

		That may be fine with Klees, Stronach and Harper, but it's not OK with Canadians.
