Sorry about the hiatus but as you may know I have been assuidiously discharging my duties as a constituency MP by (ahem) taking a vacation in California

Luckily, this prior arrangement allowed me to miss the bash Sheila Copps event (shouldnt that be Sheila Copps bash event Ed.) at which the nobodies of the party have their one flirtation with the notion that they may be somebody by seeking out nomination to be party leader.

Of course, the heavyweights, Mckenna, Tobin, Manley and, I believe, Rock all want to 'spend more time with my family' a euphemism for 'I want to spend more time coining it in private business - you didn't think I went into public service to serve the public, did you?!'. No doubt if they were assured of victory their egos and lust for power would cause a rapid volte-face (that's about turn for you , Brian). After all it is as logically certain as that night follows day that heading the party guarantees a stint as PM. But it looks like the party are going to go outside the loyalists remembering with rose-coloured spectacles the days when the Pearsons and Trudeaus were plucked from the outer circle
So it's those who have only a fleeting affiliation, if any, with the Liberal party e.g the Brison, Sronach, Ignatieff and Rae's of this world who will be fighting it out by the end of this year.
Mark my words
