I was struck by this: "Prof. McArthur said the Topp tactics were evident in strenuous, private efforts to discourage Quebec MP Romeo Saganash from running."
If you remember, Saganash was going to give a press conference and the rumour was that he was going to support Topp, then all of a sudden he announces he's running. Not sure what went on but I'm glad Saganash is in the race.
