Peter Mac Kay and the Huffington Post Canada

Conservative caucus: Obhrai, the dean of the Conservative caucus, declined to further discuss his current plans, according to Huffington Post Canada. But a caucus member approached to sign a form supporting Obhrai candidacy said his solicitation came with a commitment that when he loses he would throw his support behind another candidate: Peter Mac Kay. I don't want to run if I don't have the base to run," he told The Huffington Post Canada this week. Deepak Obhrai rises during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Wednesday September 21, 2011. He is the presumptive front-runner should he choose to join the race. Ohbrai would neither confirm nor deny the unusual pitch. "He tells me his wife has to approve," Obhrai said, said of Mac Kay possible entrance into the race. "I haven't officially filed any papers, I'm just gauging the support." Mac Kay, a former cabinet minister from Nova Scotia, who as leader of the Progressive Conservative party was responsible for uniting-the-right federally under the Conservative umbrella, left politics last year to spend time with his family.
