I Told You So

Really. Why does anyone watch CBC, when they can have me?

SDA post-convention analysis from Dec.2, 2007;

Post Mortem - in the final analysis, here is what happened. Despite a determined campaign to present a positive face to the nation, the Liberal Party's decision boiled down to a selection determined by negatives.

The campaign of Michael Ignatieff gained early support, but eventually stumbled because a significant number of delegates were determined to vote for "anybody but".

The campaign of Bob Rae gained later momentum, but eventually stalled because a significant number of delegates were also determined to vote for "anybody but".

In the end they settled on the candidate who had staked out the highly coveted political ground known as "least offensive".

So, there we have it.

The new leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, leader of Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition, and citizen of France...

Mr. Anybody But.
