No source for Duncan's endorsement yet, but it was mentioned
I thought we had agreed not to mention that site.

Well, even if that means depriving ourselves of informations?

Cheesy

I have to give credit where credit is due. He did a good history of Toronto--Danforth, which angers me actually, because I was going to do the same thing (complete with a chart like he has).

Anyways, the Duncan announcement will be at 1.

Well, that is clearly another proof he is an unsuitable leader, but, I don't think we needed other ones.

It was already obvious for me than he would be a very bad choice.

Yeah, while it's not illegal it does raise an unnecessary ethical cloud.

He would fit right in, though, with other successful politicians we've had.

New map reflecting Angus' endorsement and the endorsement of Clay Serby (former Deputy Premier of SK) for Brian Topp. According to Twitter, Topp may have? also got the endorsement of Judy Junor, but he has yet to put that in a press release.

Martin Singh's "endorsement" is his own, ie really just a standin for his place of residence, correct?

Yeah. You can discredit his "endorsement" if you so choose.

Can someone explain why it isn't a clear mistake to pick a candidate whose French is painful to listen to, whose rhetoric is full of middle-class-public-sector earnestness without any hint of working-class populism, and whose policies nevertheless lack any Mulcair-style centrist economics? I thought we learned in the 1990's that this combination didn't work so well.

Angus' French isn't that great, either. Still, his endorsement might bump Dewar into my second place spot. Looking for Cash, and probably a few other northern NDP MPs to endorse Dewar in the future.

No. I still fail to understand what people are finding good about Dewar. I would rank him 4th, for the moment.

Dewar could be a compromise candidate, depending on how things shake out.

He's not Topp; He's not Mulciar; and he's not Peggy Nash.
