So as the delegates are meeting in Montreal right this second, what are people thinking? Who do they want to see win? Does anyone care?

I'm in favor of Dion and think he has a great chance of winning.

Iggy would be terrible for the Liberal Party but I'm not too worried because I highly doubt he will win. Not enough 2nd ballot support.

Agree completely
Bob Rae is my second choice.

I don't think Rae would be good for the Liberals either since he would probably cost them support in Ontario.

Dion is leading after the third ballot. Ignatieff second. Rae is out. Question now is where will Rae throw his support? My guess is that he will give his supporters a free vote.

Pretty wild ride, and with 20/20 hindsight (for most of us) an excellent choice.

I thought it would be Dion after that poll that showed that he was the second choice of the majority of the delegates and also that Kennedy and he had a bit of a deal to support the other just in case. I think it's good news too. There was another vote done in Alberta today as well and I'm happy with that result too:

hello I am article

It was pretty much between Dinning (boring), some social conservative and this third guy that seems to be a bit like the Dion of the Alberta PC party.
