Iggy alienating Albertans would not show up in delegate selection for the same reason Dion's Quebec troubles didn't: it's all Liberals. Liberals might support a carbon tax, the average voter doesn't. The same is true in Quebec. Federalists don't mind Stephane Dion, they might even like the Clarity Act. The rest of the province doesn't. At the end of the day only about 2% of Canadians are partisans. A tiny percentage are Liberals in Alberta or Quebec. Don't mistake delegate strength for real strength in a given region.<BR/><BR/>3. If the only reason you don't support Gerard Kennedy is because he's a couple of courses short of a BA, you need to seriously reconsider how you choose a leader. You can criticize Kennedy for being hard to work with or for his weak French, don't embarass yourself with comments about a few undergrad couses.<BR/><BR/>4. Save the racism for the sewers, where it belongs. I really don't want to have start moderating the comments.Aaron Ginsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10586651764906428965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31099203.post-1160768352899371852006-10-13T15:39:00.000-04:002006-10-13T15:39:00.000-04:00The leader of the Liberals need to work to bring p...The leader of the Liberals need to work to bring people together to bring to fruit common ideals and visions. Ask yourself this: today if the Liberals are in a split (again) over Israel, who is responsible for starting this current mess?<BR/><BR/>- MezbaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31099203.post-1160768278650120892006-10-13T15:37:00.000-04:002006-10-13T15:37:00.000-04:00the above comment is Islamophobic and hate-filled....the above comment is Islamophobic and hate-filled. A Taliban suicide bomber attacked NATO forces and killed 8 civilians.

If he _does_ win the leadership, I am afraid these mistakes will lead to a Harper majority govm't. :-(<BR/><BR/>If he doesn't win, I hope he can still control his tongue when he campaigns along side the PLC leader, so as not to screw that up, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
