Gone till November

Your humble organ has reported at length on federal Liberal leadership candidate Michael Ignatieff's attempt to "negate most of chief rival Bob Rae's delegate support in British Columbia." The success of said attempt will be determined by the party's permanent appeals committee. And when will that determination be made, you way wonder? Well, we're told the committee has called a conference call meeting for November 1.

The Liberal Party has acculated enough of its own backage over the years, they don't need to add more from Bob Rae. If Rae wins the Liberal leadership race, I am out here, I will quit the party, and not vote Liberal until Rae is gone.

Any unhappy Liberals are welcome to join rest of us CONS.

In my comment above, I meant BAGGAGE, not BACKAGE, typo.

You Liberals would be lucky to get Bob Rae -- second only to Glen Clark as the best leader ever in the NDP. Too bad the Israel-hating, pot-smoking, tax-loving, criminal-coddling left of the NDP drove him away.

And, Dagmar, what substances would you have been on when you typed the above silliness?

You refer, correctly, mind you, to Glen Clark as the best of the whole lot, but then you go and ruin it all by suggesting we love taxes and crooks.

You got it partly wrong. It's the crooks we give our taxes to.

BTW, nobody drove Bob Rae away, he simply strolled over to Bay St. one day and that's the last we ever saw of Bob Rae the social democrat.

About bloody time they made the ruling... this whole thing is ridiculously managed...

Not to worry Kim Hakstead and Jamie Elmherst have assured the presidents council that the delegate selection process is fair and the LPCBC office is unbiased. The room then filled with laughter. Neutral, unbiased, fair, come on, we're talking about marrison's people here.

Seems Iggies election Co Chair in Ontario just dropped him and moved over to Rae. a politicla science professor from Ottaw was on CPAc yesteray. afte the first vote, he says it will be anyone but Iggie. so anyone can take over and chuck out Stevie Wonder, and the sooner the better.

Liberal observer:

Since this is an appeal launched by the Michael Ignatieff campaign against the Bob Rae campaign and Haakstad is neutral and Elmhurst is supporting Dion what exactly is your point?

And considering the fact that it was the Bob Rae team themselves that brought their own membership problems to light in BC, what evil and nefarious role do you believe the LPC-BC office played in that?

All I can say is thank god Wendy Yuan won the Vancouver-Kingsway nomination. If Mason had won, his antics would have been a REAL problem for the party.

Bob Rae's camp should have listened to Ujjal from the beginning and supported Wendy Yuan in the nomination in Kingsway. Getting involved with Mason Loh was a big mistake.

If they all supported Wendy, she probably would have organized for Bob Rae, and you wouldn't have this Mason Loh problem.
