I don't particularly like Kenney, in fact, I dislike him. But I don't see any other credible alternative running for the PC leadership that is inspiring. None of them are a sure thing to beat Notley. Whereas Kenney probably is, especially if there is a merger.

Brian Jean is not a credible leader, so the Wildrose itself doesn't pose a realistic alternative. Brian Jean won't win any seats in the cities. 

So what am I left with? Kenney. Notley has to go, at any political cost. So, due to the lack of other options, I guess Kenney is the man.
