It's funny enough that Iggy has Kinsella on his side, but he also has mouth piece Holland pulling for him!
It's all about getting PM Harper with the Liberals, are they seriously that out of touch with voters?
Have they failed to understand that Liberals stayed home because they could not vote for their Liberal candidate? Do they really think that if they get a new leader, they will win the next election?
Think about the two front runners, Iggy and Rae, and compare them to PM Harper. What would make anyone change their vote to the Liberals? Iggy, a conservative lite? Rae, a NDP lite? LeBlanc who?
I think the Liberals are in trouble, and it's not just a new leader they need. They talk about Liberal values, but I have no idea of what those are, and I suspect neither do Liberals. Holland talks about attacking PM Harper as the solution to their problems, are they that out of touch with voters? Seriously, do they really think that PM Harper is their problem?

Rae Dazed!
On Friday, Rae got a chance to show what leadership was all about. To show how he would be different from Dion and Iggy, so what does he do? He stood up in the House, and tried to smear the Conservatives with another old tape scandal.
I feel sorry for Liberals like Irwin Cotler, (seen in the video) he is a respected MP stuck in a dysfunctional party. Why is he still there? He sure doesn't look happy, what is he hoping for, a return of the Liberals to power? I don't think so, I think he sincerely wants to make Canada a better place, he's just on the wrong side.
CTV and the Globe and Mail are all over this "scandal" like dogs humping a leg. It feels good, but nothing much gets accomplished. Crying wolf only works so long, then people tune out.
If the Liberals want to throw dirt around, maybe they should look to their own MP's. Here's only one example:
Mar 23, 2007 11:26 AM
Canadian Press
OTTAWA – Veteran Liberal MP Tom Wappel, whose outspoken form of social conservatism often collided with his party's policies, says he won't reoffer come next federal election.
A member of Parliament since 1988, the Toronto-area lawyer, now 57, has been known for his vocal stands against abortion and gay rights – and for refusing to help a veteran in his riding whom he suspected of supporting a rival candidate in the previous election.
Wappel has said worse, the Star was actually easy on him, but you can find his comments on your own. I will not stoop to Bob Rae's level, to the level the Liberals have descended to. My values are principled values, not "Canadian values". The family, with one Mom, one Dad, and kids, are my values. Ask any Liberal what "Canadian values" mean, they have no clue. It's a marketing ploy, making them seem like principled guardians of our lifestyle. Swingers clubs, legalized marijuana, legalized prostitution, allowing 10 year olds to have sex, those are Liberal values, they are not Canadian values. No thanks Libs.
Rae blew his big chance to change the tone in Parliament, to raise the bar, to make the Liberals appear to stand for something, he had a chance to change the station, and what did he do? Smear, smear and more smear attempts. The Liberals must think it's working, the polls tell them they are close to the Conservatives, but statistics lie, just like the Liberals. (Where is that 40 million that is missing?)
Funny, I thought Dion said he would not be negative, so far, that's all the Liberals have done. Remember when you are digging up a grave, the dirt sticks to you.
The point: Liberals should not throw stones that might hit one of their own.

THE KISS!!!
Rae and Iggy sitting in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g! Okay, I didn't see it and the ParlVU cameras didn't catch it, but you can hear the hoots, whistles and clapping in this video.
I know the quality isn't too great, but I'm still testing out video capture software. If anyone has a free capture program they like, please tell me about it.
Liberal MP Bob Rae says his decision to greet deputy leader Michael Ignatieff with a kiss upon his entrance into the House of Commons on Monday was not symbolic of where his loyalties will lie.
Rae and Ignatieff both ran against Stephane Dion for the leadership of the Liberal party. Dion eventually won, but he has now handed critic's portfolios to most of his former opponents.
Party infighting, however, has prompted rumours that a movement is afoot to oust Dion and replace him with Ignatieff, a former Harvard professor.
Rae said his affectionate greeting to Ignatieff was just that, and there was no deeper message intended.
Now, the question is, was it a full lip kiss (yuck), or the kiss of death?
Funny how all the articles are about the new Liberal MP's, no mention is made of the NEW Conservative MP who was elected. Media bias? No, never happen! HA!
Two side notes: Glad the US can be counted on to come to our aid with troops!
And You GO KATE!!!
