The Anth Zone’s Predictions
- Dion victory.
- Highly unlikely for Iggy to recover from being dropped to second place.
UPDATE
- John Godfrey, Ken Dryden have endorsed Dion. CBC has reported that the majority of ex-officios and delegates of Rae’s have gone over to Monsieur Dion’s side. Good news.
UPDATE 2
- Ralph Goodale has endorsed Monsieur Dion.
- Ignatieff Camp has been handing out pamphlet’s to delegates in line to vote to discredit Monsieur Dion. It is clear that Ignatieff plans on not uniting the party, and creates a shift between the two camps. According to the CBC, the pamphlet propagates that Monsieur Dion cannot take on Prime Minister Harper, and is not winnable. I know that’s a lie.
