Dion vs. Ignatieff on the final ballot. These are two candidates that we as Conservatives can run well against in the next election. Many thought that Rae was the preferred candidate but what I gather, Rae was the Conservative’s most feared…
Looks like my original buzz on Bains was right. I just spoke to the man himself and he’s supporting Dion. I’m sitting here in the main hall waiting for delegates to vote on the final ballot. They almost ran out of time with too many people waiting…
Wells and I must of heard the same BS. Now I hear that Lapierre isn’t going Dion. I asked Chantel Hebert her opinion on that rumour and she said it could never be true. Hebert again shows her remarkable wisdom on convention floor talk and media…

Ignatieff: 1481Rae: 1132Dion: 974Kennedy: 884Dryden: 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 awaiting second ballot results. I’ve heard that the Ignatieff camp is quite angry. Their delegates didn’t deliver. Iggy received just north of 29% of the vote on the first ballot. Ignatieff was expecting about 35% of the delegates and quite a…
