Who's going to be the new federal liberal leader

- Start date
Not that I am Liberal, but I am hoping for Bob Rae, but I think Ignatieff will take it. I just didn't want the fucking c*nt Hedy Fry.
Yeah, I was very happy when she withdrew ... and yes, she is as STUPID as she APPEARS.sparkymacker said:

but Marv, what's not to like about Hedy?
Seriously, IMHO, she is a terrible MP for Vancouver Centre so I dread the thought of her running the opposition. Thank god that will never happen.
There is enough dislike between the front runners (and more importantly, their supporters) to prevent any of the leading contestants from winning. This is particularly true of the Dion, Rae and Ignatieff camps.
The Liberal Party has a policy of alternating between French and English leaders. However... there is too much dislike for Dion, especially from the Rae and Ignatieff camps.
Dion will stay strong through the first two ballots.
There is one candidate, if he survives the first two rounds of voting, who will come up the middle and win.
Look for support to shift on a third or fourth ballot to the only Ontario candidate with deep Quebec support that the Rae and Ignatieff camps could move to in an attempt to stop Dion.
Ken Dryden.
Dryden performed well in his ministerial assignments under Martin and hasn't rocked the boat.
More importantly, Cretien (who could speak neither official language well) has already demonstrated that being a strong public speaker isn't important.

doesn't matter who wins as liberal leader, because unless harper starts doing
something, canadians will vote in a fencepost to replace him:
people vote conservative when they want the dirty work done ... people want
law and order and criminals off the street and stuff like that ...
then they vote liberal to feel good about having done something dirty.
if Harper doesn't do something or worse, gets mired in telling people they are
baby-killers for having sex out of wedlock, then he's gonna make old joe clark
look like a 'winner'!
oh yeah, my loonie says Rae wins ... Ignatiff is just too academic (read: DUncE!) ... Dion is a whimp ... and Dryden acts like everyone around him
has been farting and he's not allowed to join in.

To me it looks like Ignatieff, but Rae is right at his heels. Most people remember Rae -he's the former NDP premier of Ontario. He fucked up the economy of Ontario and now he wants a shot at doing the same thing for ALL Canadians.
