As it stands, it looks like they're trying to scuff his name with the same scandal that dogged Brian Mulroney. The Toronto Star said that this would result in months of "Gomery-like" intrigue, but somehow I think people won't care unless someone presents a widely acceptable alternative; Dion polls poorly, the NDP is unlikely to win federally, and Albertan conservatives--though probably upset with Harper for being too liberal--wouldn't vote differently unless they had their old right-wing alternative back.
I'm almost hoping the ProgCons splinter off from the Reform Alliance again, so it's mathematically impossible for either to win. For that reason, though, I'm sure they'll grudgingly stick together.
