Way back in March, I asked people to predict who would run for Liberal leadership. Looking back at the guesses made, it’s clear that no one really had a good idea of how this race would shape up back then. Everyone knew Belinda would run, and a lot of people were convinced we’d see Goodale and Corderre in the race. On the flip side, few had Kennedy on their list and not a single person predicted the magical Hedy Fry candidacy.

The scoring was simple. 1 point for a correct guess and -1 for a wrong one. I made John Godfrey and Maurizio Bevilacqua zero point guesses since they did technically run but aren’t running now.

Adding it all up and the winner is none other than Jason Cherniak, with 7 points. Jason predicted the entire field of 10 minus Hedy, and only had Stronach and Corderre as incorrect guesses. Observer had 6 points, while Mike P, Hussain, and BC Tory all had 5 points. Myself, and a bunch of others came in middle of the pack with 4 points (I had most of those who ran predicted but picked a lot of people who decided not to run too).
