All of the people who were expecting Bob Rae to keep his word and not run for permanent Liberal leadership after accepting the interim position must have been shocked to learn today that Bobby intends to run for the job (though that's what many of us believed all along). Since being the party leader would give him an unfair advantage in a leadership contest, he is "expected" step down from the interim post in June. That's precisely why it was the Liberal Party who demanded that Rae promise not to run for the permanent job before taking the interim job. Originally Bob demanded he be allowed to keep the interim job for two years, now he's "expected" to resign (provided the party board of directors allows him to run for the full time job).
Bob Rae wants to be Prime Minister. That's why he joined the Liberal party and entered federal politics. That's what I've been saying all along. Today's poll question; should Bob Rae be allowed to run for permanent leader of the Liberal Party?
He should have ran for the NDP leadership LOL!
ReplyDeleteAfter 2015 both leaders left standing will have to find a way to merge.
ReplyDeleteI say let him run, and be humiliated worse than iggy was. Rae vs Mulcair, and PMSH will end up with a much larger majority.
ReplyDeleteWho will step in as leader, maybe Ralph Goodale, lol
let him run i say. ive enjoyed watching dead liberal horses get beat time and time again.

Its a pity Alison Redford won. She would have made a good liberal leader with NDP sympathies.
ReplyDeleteWe're doing just fine with Bob as interim Leader,we'd do even better with Bob as permanent Leader.
ReplyDeleteGo,Bob,go!
let Bucky prove what a complete ass he really is.
ReplyDeleteGood call Iceman... I remember you predicting this exact outcome. I guess the "Liberals" are not sufficiently ready to give up the pretense of being Liberal and not a pack of NDP commies. Good. The "Liberals" are not fooling anyone. Say what you want about that old crook and tribal language freak Jean Chretin, at least the old bastard recommends an end to the pretense of "Liberals" pretending to be Liberals. NDP Bob still hasn't figured that out.
ReplyDeleteAt this point who cares? This country is F.U.B.A.R. so it doesn't make a difference who or what is in ottawa.
ReplyDeleteThis last year has been all smoke and mirrors from the LPC. My take is that, all along, the LPC bean counters didn't want to waste money on a leadership race.
ReplyDeleteSo a coronation of Rae was the optimum route. The challenge was how to manouver it, in such a way that the LPC base wasn't turned off, to the point of stopping donations.
It's all about hoarding money for the 2015 election, keeping the lights on, and meeting the LPC payroll for the essentially useless jobs being done by the hacks.
Let Boob run. The Federal Liberals won't have a chance in Ornario.
