A Political Dilemma

What do you do if someone you like and respect is running for a political party that you would probably never vote for? Local lawyer, fellow church member and potential Canoe Boy Bill Hampton is seeking the nomination for the Conservative Party in Peterborough. I was asked tonight if I'd consider signing up as a member and voting for him in the nomination vote. I could do that but I don't know if I can stomach supporting the Conservatives in any fashion. Now that Peter Adams, also fellow church member, has announced that he won't be running for the Liberals in the next election, I suspect that whoever gets the Conservative nomination will be the next MP.
