The fact that Stilwell and Flacon both attended a post convention pub celebration of George Abbott on Saturday night and given George and Christy`s public spat over policy I think it is obvious that an anybody but Christy coalition is starting to develop and with Stilwell expected announcement that she is joining the Abbott camp starts to suggest that this is in fact happening.
I supect that George and Kevin`s supporters will one two each other on the ballot - Don`t know where Christy`s second vote will go - that leaves DeJong - he could be the kingpin - who will his supporters throw their second vote do - both Mike and Kevin have strong support in the Indo- Canadian community so that could help Kevin.
As for who the NDP would like to lead the Liberals - probably Falcon because of his big business connections.- this opens the door for big Labour connected Dix to lead the NDP
The NDP are concerned about Abbott because he appeals to the swing voter with his moderate and consensus building - a good match here would be Farnworth as he is considered moderate by many Liberals.
The NDP cannot match the glitz of Christy - for the sake of the Province I hope that Christy gets the same kind of result that she got when she tried to become Mayor of Vancouver.
