4th ballot coming soon

In the meantime, check out this story: the Tories claim they helped defeat Bob Rae:

"They (Liberals) don't know how to play poker ... The NDP is also feeling happy right now.''  In recent months some leading Tories admitted privately that Rae was the Liberal candidate they feared the most. Their admissions became public the instant Rae was eliminated from the race.

One Tory operative described how a handful of government supporters proliferated at Liberal parties throughout Montreal on Friday evening and handed out anti-Rae buttons.  "Make Bob the first NDP prime minister,'' one button said.  Another button aimed at underlining Rae's tumultuous time in Ontario said: "Vote Bob. Who needs Ontario?''

The party made similar buttons for all the other candidates -- but it was mainly for show. Rae was their main target, said a government official.  "There were hundreds of Liberals wearing those (Rae) buttons when they went to vote today,'' he said.  "It was great to watch.''
