Play it again Sam

British Columbia may have set the bar for outrageousness during the last federal Liberal leadership race. But, during this campaign, Lotusland Grits seem to be setting the bar for civility. Last night, Stephane Dion's national coordinator Mark Marissen invited operatives from all camps to attend a drinkup at the Terminal City Lions Pub. Representatives from Carolyn Bennett, Hedy Fry and Joe Volpe's teams didn't show. And those supporting Maurizio Bevilacqua were busy attending a reception for their candidate at the Saltaire Restaurant. But campaigners for Scott Brison (Nick Carmel), Mr. Dion (Bill Cunningham, Melissa De Genova, Megan Pritchard and Mike Witherly) Ken Dryden (Roy Bornman), Michael Ignatieff (Gerry Lenoski and Kim Emsley-Leik) , Gerard Kennedy (Don Stickney and Bruce Young) and Bob Rae (Pam McDonald and Greg Wilson) could be spotted milling about the pub.

A bit odd that Greg Wilson and Melissa De Genova
wouldn't be teaming up again on the same campaign. They both worked the same campaign for a federal candidate in Burnaby. They were also working the NPA campaign last fall.

Bil Cunningham is wanting his old job back as per usual.

Are you kidding Gary?

Greg Wilson and Melissa deGenova are such incredible campaign talents and have such a long streak of campaign successes (particularly in strategy and candidate/volunteer relations), that they needed to be separated for fear of supernova-like combustion...

Rae and Dion are so lucky!
