I think Gerard really needs to be focusing on the party&#8217;s need for a fresh face and on electing a leader Liberals can rally behind once this is all done. The positive campaign and focus on party renewal may not be getting many headlines but it might not be a bad strategy to continue with.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/v5\/images\/newspaper\/20061017\/cartoon-400.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>4.
