    I'll say Gerard Kennedy.
    But seeing as the furtherest west any of these people represent is ontario I don't care who gets in.
    Anyone of them will give the west the cold shoulder in typical liberal fashion.

    Living in smogtario I've had it with the provincial liberals (or in this provinces case, fiberals) so I won't vote for them anyways.
    With what mcguinty has done (or not done is his case) it'll take me a long time to warm up to that party ever again. Plus I thought martin was a baboon as well.

    Seeing as Western Canada now has more power than quebec with voters, liberals would have been smart to select someone from either Alberta or BC.

    I wholly disappointed by our politics. It's worse than usual.
    The conservatives... there goes some semblences ontario had at clean air.
    lack of education doesn't help the masses either.
    The only person i have heard of is Bob Rae, but I've been rather isolated and uncaring about politics in the past 6 months, I've been without a tv for four of them.

    Gerard Kennedy would be my first choice, followed by Dion.

    Bob Rae is too incompetent, and Michael Ignatnieff simply disgusts me.

    I have no trust for Ignatieff. His entry into politics and subsequently the liberal leadership has seemed a little overly orchestrated and his neo-liberal stance on human rights and democracy puts me on edge. These two points factored together make me question who is backing him and what are his connection in the US.

    His decision to throw the constitution into the heat of the debate seems like nothing more then an attention grab, it's like he's trying to recreate trudeaumania and fashion himself as a man of vision when what we really need is concrete talk on climate change, global stability and the widening gap between the rich and poor.


    I like the tone of the Dion and Kennedy campaigns but unfortuneatly one will do well in Quebec, the other in Ontario and the stage will be set for Ignatieff to benifit from the split.

    seeing the way that they are in the same party..... none of them our worthy.

    Who can have faith, in a whole bunch of people in the same political party, that can not even get along amongst themselves?

    The way they bicker and talk trash about one another is very eye opening.

    If they can not even focus and decide on who is the best canidate for the job... how can we expect them to focus on governing a country again?

    You make it sound like leading a country and passing bills in the House of Commons with multi-party members holding over 308 seats is as easy as choosing one child to represent them with a halo over their head.

    Joe Volpe...I guess. I dont vote Liberal generally but I vote for the man. I like the cut of laytons jibs so I have been supporting the NDP for the past few years.
