Raitt would be better than Scheer - but that's not exactly a resounding endorsement.   Scheer's 13 year record as an MP is distinguished by how he managed to stay under the radar by keeping his head down and clapping on command.     Hardly the stuff of leadership.

Raitt was Senior member of the Harper Govt and never raised a dissenting voice during their endless gutter politics decade of tax dollar abuse and neglect of duty.    

The CPC need new blood, not recycled hacks who are trying to re-invent themselves (in Raitt's case) or nodding yes-men trying to act like a "leader" for the first time in their lives (Scheer).
