If one watched the debates, one could tell that Brison had little chemistry with Kennedy but more with another candidate. I understand these arguments but this type of thinking worked little in the case of Bevalaqua. Furthermore, Brison is young and would probably prefer an older leader so that he can get another kick at the can soon. We will all have to wait to see what happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1160157730759996902006-10-06T15:02:00.000-03:002006-10-06T15:02:00.000-03:00Wait wait wait.

Burke) which will bump his numbers up when the Aboriginal votes are counted, thus giving him the edge as kingmaker.<BR/><BR/>Brison would be a good fit for Kennedy as you describe. Also, it would be in Brison's best interests as - being Kennedy's key ally among fiscal conservatives - he'd be guaranteed a prominent spot in a Kennedy-led Liberal Party.<BR/><BR/>Dion could also go to Kennedy (though I'd expect that to be at the leadership convention and probably not until at least the third ballot) - Dion's strength in Quebec would be an asset to Kennedy and could guarantee him a prominent position as Kennedy's Quebec lieutenant.Harraphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02479513663195266323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30694877.post-1160078523804984792006-10-05T17:02:00.000-03:002006-10-05T17:02:00.000-03:00I think that Brison is too opportunistic to go to ...I think that Brison is too opportunistic to go to Kennedy.<BR/><BR/>He'll want a sure thing, and that means he will go to Ignatieff. They are philosophically closer on more issues anyway.<BR/><BR/>Dion should go to Kennedy, or at least Kennedy should be promising Dion the moon for his support. That would more than make up for the disaster Kennedy met up with in Quebec.JLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731673049464953267noreply@blogger.com
