OTTAWA -- The ruling Tories indulged in some mischief Thursday in an apparent bid to influence the outcome of the Liberal leadership race.
On the eve of the Liberals' super weekend, when some 4,300 delegates will be chosen to attend the party's Dec. 2 leadership convention, a confidential memo from Conservative national campaign chief Doug Finley was conveniently leaked to two newspapers, one French, one English.
Offering his assessment of the top four contenders in the Liberal contest, Finley confides that rookie Toronto MP and acclaimed scholar Michael Ignatieff would be the most formidable foe for the Conservatives.
Bob Rae, on the other hand, would have trouble overcoming his turbulent, recession-ravaged record as Ontario NDP premier during the early 1990s.
Finley also says that focus groups have dismissed former Ontario education minister Gerard Kennedy as "minor league,'' and sole Quebec contender Stephane Dion as "ral to the core........the most boring'' of the lot.
IMHO those two traits are liberal to the core.......
