Update

I few observations:

• I think the turning point was after Dion's speech last night wherein he realized that he did poorly and therefore his back was up against the wall. Instead of folding his tent, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work. Moral of the story? Never doubt this man ever again.
• As a result of being put on the edge of defeat, he realized that he needed to secure support before the morning if he was ever going to get clearly into third and thus surpass Kennedy.
• Neither Rae nor Ignatieff have shown significant growth which shows what I always suspected of BOB Rae, that Liberals will never untrust their party to an outsider like him. He will not gain any significant support from Dryden, Kennedy or Ignatieff, especially since Iggy will undoubtably ignore the writing on the wall and sit tight for another ballot. Thus, helping Dion close the gap on him and Rae.
• One thing that I have to mention right now is a suggestion that my buddy Scott (aka The Sorry Centrist) said to me a few months ago, he said that both the Kennedy and the Dion camps sould come together and agree to make a few thousand "Kennedion" buttons for this very moment. Not to mention, he was the first one in cyber space to coin the phrase "Kennedion" and he isn't even a Liberal. Sign that guy up as a strategist.
