Moldy Peaches

sort of.

The race to replace Paul Martin will likely have no shortage of candidates. The rumours are flying fast and furious - this person is in and this person is out. The only thing that is is certain is that both John Manley and now Frank McKenna are out and there is going to be an actual race with speeches and vote buying, oops, I mean vote prying.

Belinda Stronach sounds like she is in.

Brian Tobin is likely weighing his options now that a fellow Maritimer is out of the running.

One time Martin friend and now foe - Maurizio Bevilacqua.

Pass the Tequila Shelia.

Alan Rock, as Kinsella muses about, is likely reconsidering.

Christy Clark - one of the few actual provincial Liberals in Gordon Campbell's original cabinet. Her downside is she is married to a senior Martin aide in BC and those aides are toxic right now.

Joe Volpe. Next.

Jane Stewart - remember the HRSDC event.

Gerard Kennedy. The current Minister of Education in Ontario with a fantastic resume.

A long, but welcome shot, Stephane Dion.

A longershot - Ken Dryden.

The longest shot with the widest chain - Denis Coderre

Watch for Martin Cauchon. He is going to be in the mix and has some assets.

My choice, if I could vote and convince him, Bob Rae.
