As February comes to a close and the National Executive meetings approach, we’ve been bombarded with leadership news and speculation. Among the highlights:<\/p>\n
–Martin Cauchon <\/a>is in the news and has suddenly opened up to alternative health care solutions and flexible federalism. I’ve always liked Cauchon, but I’d have a tough time supporting anyone who makes the fiscal imbalance and asymmetrical federalism one of his top priorities.<\/p>\n –Joe Fontana <\/a>is seriously considering a run at Liberal leadership. He has no doubt been inspired by Tom Wappell’s 1990 bid.<\/p>\n -On the other end of the quality candidate spectrum, the darling of the blogosphere <\/a>seems to be marching towards a leadership bid. -As observed by several other blogs<\/a>, Belinda Stronach has no Liberal logo anywhere on her website<\/a>.<\/p>\n -Speaking of Belinda, Reg Alcock is quite intrigued by this economic pie she keeps promising to bake, and it looks like he’s jumping on board her campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n -The kids at Fuddle Duddle <\/a>are up in arms over the Quebec Young Liberals President, Brigitte Legault’s decision to back Belinda Stronach for leadership.<\/p>\n -There’s a new blog <\/a>up and running from a “LPC insider”. I’m obligated to link to it, due to my policy of hyping any blogs which refer to me as a “clever guy”.<\/p>\n -Out good friend Joe Volpe is in the news yet again<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Update: <\/em><\/strong>There’s more Kennedy stuff here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
