So, I'm sitting around watching CPAC's coverage of the Federal Liberal leadership convention.
Jean LaPierre is being interviewed. I wondered what happened to him.
They are getting ready for the third ballot. Stephane Dion, Michael Ignatieff, and Bob Rae are on the ballot. I was disappointed that Gerard Kennedy was knocked off the second ballot, but it's not overly surprising because he was fairly close to Dion for the third-fouth place position.
Here are the live third ballot resutls....
Michael Ignatieff - 1660
Bob Rae - 1375
Stephane Dion - 1782
Total - 4817
Needed to win - 2410
Stephane Dion pulls ahead on the fourth ballot. It's a Dion-Ignatieff showdown...
Very interesting turn of events...

I haven't been on my blog in ages, and therefore hadn't seen your fine expose on colonial wines. Good show, sir.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest of this - you have also inspired me to tune into CPAC instead of doing my homework.
Don't fret for Kennedy yet. He's brilliantly positioned himself as the a key lieutenant, especially given his strength in the West.
ReplyDeleteHis biggest leadership liabilities, at least as I heard it said, seemed to be weak french and lack of Federal experience, both of which he'll be in a strong position to remedy sitting next to Dion (presuming he runs federally in short order).
And he's only 46.
