Leadership predictions

Liberal Party of Canada: No idea.

Alberta PC Party: No idea.

Seriously. I have absolutely no clue. I think Rae and Ignatieff demonstrated tonight that they are clearly in a league above the others, but one can never be sure.

Predictions in both these contests are futile, but if I were a betting man, it would be on Morton and Rae. Morton because momentum is by far the most important thing on a second ballot in a one-member one-vote process, and he has lots of it; Rae because he had the best speech and looks the most poised and experienced.

UPDATE: Michael Ignatieff supporter Liza Frulla just went apeshit on Radio-Canada TV in a disturbing sort of Howard Dean sort of way. She railed against the fact that Rae apparently didn't talk French until 20 minutes into his speech, and when he did, only talked about Québec's economony and not its social or cultural issues. It was rather silly and she looked crazy. As the TV commentator noted, this shows some worry in the Ignatieff camp.
