| Description | MONTREAL (CP) - After spending more than a decade on the fringes, Action democratique du Quebec Leader Mario Dumont is desperate for the political breakthrough that will turn his party into a mainstream conservative force in the province.
Dumont is hardly an unknown to Quebecers - he will be fighting his fourth election campaign as the ADQ's chief - but support for his party is still something of a mystery.
Recent polls suggest Dumont, 36, is the most popular leader on the provincial scene. However, those same surveys also indicate the ADQ is running a solid third behind the governing Liberals and the Parti Quebecois.
The ADQ is notorious for polling well, only to see its support evaporate come election day. After riding high in the run-up to 2003 campaign, the party ended up with only four seats and was left toiling in the political wilderness for another four years. |
