I’ve just heard news that Lapierre has endorsed Dion. Talk about full circle on the Quebec nation.
Navdeep Bains is bringing Indo-Canadian delegates over to Dion.
(now I’m hearing Iggy)
Rae looks to be in trouble.

Kennedy goes Dion
If we assume all of Kennedy’s delegates go Dion, we have 1481 Ignatieff, 1132 Rae, 1854 Dion. Dryden’s delegates are likely to shift Rae.
Voting on the third ballot begins in 10 minutes.
Now this is exciting. We could have a surprise ending here.
Second ballot
Ignatieff: 1481
Rae: 1132
Dion: 974
Kennedy: 884
Dryden: 219
Looks like this one’s between Dion and Rae.
It’s too bad that Dryden’s personality is so flat. He probably would have been a serious contender if he was able to emote. He’s giving his speech now.
Ignatieff is done is probably done. It’s unlikely that Kennedy’s people will overwhelmingly go Iggy.
UPDATE: Dryden has endorsed Rae. Dryden has advised his delegates to vote as they choose.
UPDATE: Who’s on the 3rd ballot? Will Kennedy drop off and be kingmaker?
