So Rae decides to go for "Interim" Leader position of the Liberals. Which means he can't run for permanent leader, nor talk merger with the DIPs (no slight intended there. I just like the nick-name). In the short term, I would say that Rae, though I really like the Parliamentarian he has become, would not be a good choice for LIB leader. Ontarians have long memories and I doubt he could capture much of the Ontario Centrist vote. However, muzzling any attempts at merger with the DIPS is unfortunate and dare I say, knuckle-headed. To my mind, I think he would be the perfect person to negotiate that kind of rocky, ego laden mine-field. But as all to often is the case, politics defies logic in lieu of partisan sentiment.
