1. As funny as it is, can anyone see any sort of strategic advantage to signing up dead people in this race. Unless you plan to do the Weekend at Bernie’s thing and truck them down to vote, you’re just wasting your $10 their $10. This isn’t one of those mail in/phone in votes where this kind of fraud benefits you so recruiting the old Tom Long team in Quebec doesn’t really help Volpe out in this instance.

2. I’ve made my feelings on Paul Martin and his gang known in the past but books like these don’t do anything to help the party. No one wants to revisit old feuds and, with one or two exceptions, I think one of the great things about this leadership race is that it’s brought the old leadership camps together. I guess Eddie is free to write whatever he wants but I think most Liberals just want to move on.

3. Does anyone know of a site with the full list of programs cut and an explanation behind why each one was axed. Reading through the recaps, it seems to me like a lot of valuable programs were cut (as well as some that probably deserved the axe) but I’d like to see the official reasoning before rushing to judgment.

4. Our mystery pollster appears to be an American firm – Solus One. It’s obvious that this is a canvas by one of the four candidates listed to find supporters. For fun, if anyone else gets the call, I encourage you to pick a candidate other than the one you’re supporting and see if you get a call from their campaign this weekend encouraging you to vote.
