The federal Liberal's British Columbia biennial convention has been tenatively scheduled to be held on April 20 to 22 at Sun Peaks Resort - more than four months away. But it's never to early to talk about who might run to replace incumbent party president Jamie Elmhirst, who is widely assumed to not be seeking another term in office. Among those being talked up as would-be candidates are the party's former national vice-president Mike Hillman, as well as Heenan Blaikie LLP partner Craig Munroe. Other names being bandied about include Patrick Maloney, who challenged Mr. Elmhirst for the presidency in 2004, as well as Tofino real estate developer and lawyer Alan Beesley, legal coordinator for the Ignatieff campaign during the recent leadership convention in Montreal.

Other names bandied about for the lpcbc top job are Megan Prichard, Mike Witherley and Kevin Chalmers.
Out of those three, my choice would be K-Chalm. He has the same kind of Liberal colored hair as Elmhirst does.
C'mon people...it will be whoever Mark wants it to be. And that's more than fair considering the exceptional job he did bringing Dion across the goal line, deals, alliances and all.
Oh, and I can just see the ever-composed, PR blender Chalmers; Kill Emerson button firmly affixed to his lapel, fists held high Stronach-like, yelping at the top of his lungs about some sort of quixotic victory! God help us. The present images are bad enough.
Meghan Pritchard will not be running as shes doing International Politics in Geneva, Switzerland on Scholarship.
