NWBR: I don't particularly agree with Morton on economic policy, but he's an extremely sharp and smart guy

He's done a really good job in Sustainable Resources pushing through some unpopular but necessary measures in the last few year (land use, water conservation, forest management, etc).

I think the knee jerk reaction would be that he was given this slot to keep him from jumping ship, but I don't think that was ever really a risk - he's far too much of a pragmatist.

And I don't think I ever asked....What's your read on Smith and the Wild Rose true potential? Another ADQ at best? Actual threat to form gov't? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 09:50 3

  - That's fair. I'm with you on that. I just thought an argument could be made that a person could accept six days in 2002, but feel different today. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 14, 10:11
- There's a long way to go before another election, so it's difficult to say. Wild Rose is kind of amorphous "I'm someone else!" "He's right!" movement - Reagen Jan 14, 09:54
