People change. Tom Mulcair may have become more progressive as a result of being in the NDP for so long. Tony Blair once declared(this may have been a lie) himself a very very very long time ago as being on the left of the labour party. Former blairite ministers today are now saying that they screwed up and blinded themselves to the market. We must judge people on the policies they present to the membership. If we pick and choose quotes to justify assumptions, then how are we truely understanding what they are offering to the party. Let them release their policies, release their bio, do a couple of rallies, and some debates before we judge them.
You know, people here at babble attacked Topp for the romanow endorsement. And when Libby Davies endorsed Topp, a small few roughly called Libby a traitor. But there are even more silly extremes we should not follow, As I was checking NDP pundits guide, I saw a tweet by a guy called JewishNDP who said that Topp's Libby endorsement was akin to getting an endorsement from Arafat.(Which by the diction used, was negative, although I don't see how one can attribute fatah to the root of all evil in the current conflict today). Let's not rush to attack people we don't fully know yet, unless we wish to look like fools.
Anywho, Here is an AWESOME analysis of the race so far. And also a Singh story
