I think this new entry is “testing the waters” so to speak.. but with the absolute dearth right now of candidates entered into the race, he could be the sleeper pick. Join the Facebook Group here! Since the announcement, the membership has grown by over 100%!!! (Though I have to admit I’m a bit hesitant of supporting any candidate that Rachel Marsden supports, but maybe he’s one of these “Bridge-builders” types).

 - As Calgary Grit says, this is very interesting, and its musings are backed up somewhat by this. My only thoughts are that if Kennedy is musing on running again -this time as a “Liberal Renewal – 308 riding candidate”, the proof will be in the pudding, the devil will be in the details, etc. - The 2008 Canadian Blog Awards start up again (with still a month to go before 2008 is over. Heh.) Head on over and nominate your favourite blog in the categories listed. UPDATE @ 3:39 pm: Ouch.

..leadership candidates for the liberal Party that is. Rae to run for Liberal leadership That makes Rae and Dominic Leblanc the only official 2 candidates for the Liberal leadership so far.

I’ve met Mr. Rae [...] Tags: Bob Rae, Liberal leadership race | Category: Canadian Politics |

A blogpost I did over at Liberal 308, which I’ve cross-posted to my blog. ———— This is a very timely op-ed over at CNN about how Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean’s “50 state strategy” plan was attacked by some of the the Democratic strategists and politicians – as was Obama’s decision to adapt it for his presidential campaign – as pie in the sky thinking, but how they were vindicated: Dean’s insistence on having a Democratic Party that existed in the heartland, and not just California, New York and Massachusetts, was brilliant in that it made clear that the party recognized the rest of America…If Democrats are going to [...] Tags: "10 + 3", Liberal 308, Liberal leadership race | Category: Canadian Politics |

That would be my answer to James Bowie, who asked today whether the new Liberal leader should be picked based partly on long–standing Liberal Party tradition to alternate leaders between a francophone and anglophone leader. Personally, my choice for a leader will be the one I feel is most qualified and has the best ideas and political philosophy; where he/she happens to reside and what mother tongue he/she happens to have is the last thing I’d even consider. In fact, I can say right now I wont even use that as a consideration. I would hope the majority of LPC members would think the same thing.
