Dion has got the Big MO

Third Ballot: Dion 37% Ignatieff 34.5% Rae 28.5%
















Three important things to consider:

• He [Ignatieff] can not challenge Harper in Quebec as he has the same position on Quebecois as a nation. My inclination is that Dion, once the leadership race is in the books, will come out in opposition of Harper's stance on nation. We need a candidate who contrast Harper's balkanized view of Quebec.
• Does not owe anything after the convention closes down as the two people supporting him are outside the HoC. In other words, his transition to Stornoway will be smoother than Ignatieffs, as Iggy would have to juggle critic portfolios to satisfy his supporters.
• And last, but surely not least, he can pickup thousands of votes from environmentally conscious Canadian from coast to coast to coast. He has a better record on the environment than Harper. That is a very valuable asset.
