Should voters take Keith Davey seriously? As of now he is heading~up the, unofficial campaign, to unseat John Turner as leader of the Liberal party.
Davey is a Seinator and he owes that honour to his long service as chief strategist and tactician within the party. He earned the title Rainmaker for his uncanny ability to read the public mind and advise his leaders accordingly - T(he Sena tor has served two prime ministers: Lester Pearson and Pierre. Trudeau. Of the two, his heart belonged to Trudeau, whom he loyally served for all the time Trudeau held the prime ministership. Even today, Davey will unabashedly declare that Trudeau would make the best leader of the party. Given the-residue of ill feeling that i ' sticks to the Trudeau name among Liberals throughout the country one has to admire Davey's sense of devotion.
Yet it is this very devotion whi^rh makes his assessment of the Turner leadership a little suspect. Is the Rainmaker not trying to trarisf^orm Turner .into ,a. Blametaker? That is, to saddle-Turner with the poor performance of the Liberals in the recent by-election iri1 Pembina.
The Tories narrowly won the contest, but in Alberta a slim

There can be no doubt that the \ Pembina by-election didn1t reflect well on: Turner's leadership. - '、 Clearly, he has yet to persuade Canadians that he is an effective { alternative;to Mulroney, dx for that matter Ed Broadbent-
What should not be over1ooked in. the Pembina contest is that the NDP ran a very strong carididate, the ' former mayor of Edmonton.

? The ;Dayey^ campaign, against ) Turner .'is pXaKiitly. the operiin^ shoti to have the leadership of the party reviewed at the November 一 , convention. Already others in the' party feel the same way. Evidently, Jim Couttsr another mastermind from the Trudeau era, is also wringing his hands over the prospect of Turner leading the party in another general election.
