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 rumours.
CBC is now reporting that Kennedy Indo-Canadian organizers (including Bains) is going Ignatieff.
Looks like the backroom people might win this race. The common opinion among my media friends is that Dion’s momentum is the grassroots telling the party that they will not have their leader chosen. The old money choice, of course is Rae and he would seem to be Martin and Chretien’s unity candidate. However, Dion’s momentum may show that the grassroots won’t take it.
However, I’m hearing that Rae’s people may be making a deal with Ignatieff.
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.
