Why do the libs have to worry about election debt? There's always the option of another scam like the Adscam if they're elected, BUT, ----- therein's the rub :lol:

that's Andrew Coyne!

With the resignation of Denise Savoie it will be interesting to see if likely leadership candidate David Merner runs to succeed her, he lives in Victoria. Could give his candidacy a big boost.

As a card-carrying Liberal I don't want to share my party with the corrupt.

there are still people who are card carrying liarbrills?????????

My money is on Valeriote, but another blogger friend thinks it's an NDP ploy.

So Trudeau will supposedly run and will supposedly not allow anyone over 40 help his bid.

Why would anyone in any party exclude the boomers the largest voting block? I can is the Conservative commercials now.

Who knows if it's even true. I wouldn't doubt he would try to get more younger people to rally around his bid, but he wouldn't even have anyone in caucus able to help him. Gerald Butts, who is supposedly heading up his leadership bid, is 41, the same age as Trudeau.

Anyways we'll have to wait and find out.

Dominic LeBlanc talked about running for the leadership today, according to the article it is the first time he has mentioned it. The article also mentions Trudeau's candidacy and supposedly among the caucus him and LeBlanc are the frontrunners.

The Liberal Party has been more about style than substance for some years now. I suppose Trudeau the younger fits in quite well there.

A party leader from the Martimes would certainly lead to some weird regional splits come the next election. I haven't even thought about it. I am sure there will be articles written about it if he should win.

[TheNewTeddy]

Kinsella is an idiot borderline lunatic. I don't believe anything he says.

As for LeBlanc, I've met him, and he's the archetype for a below-average-but-dedicated MP who would make terrible leader.

Andrew Coyne gives some brutal, honest commentary on the Liberal leadership race.

http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com/2012/11/19/andrew-coyne-how-to-enjoy-third-party-status-in-a-few-easy-steps/

If the best you can say for yourself as a third party is that you are pretty much like the other two only less so, you are unlikely to get very far.

[bleeding heart]

I think Coyne shows some insight here. When people, including Liberals, say that "the Party has to rebuild," they should take their own advice seriously. "Rebuilding" does not mean achieving primary status in the next two years, as Coyne points out. It means gaining a dedicated, hardcore following...and then incrementally expanding on this.

If I were them, I'd study the history of the current Conservative Party, for starters..
