I was at the Victory Fund fundraiser last night in Toronto. I thought Ignatieff was better than he’s been at past events and he tantalizingly teased us that there would be concrete policy coming from the Liberals shortly.
However, the highlight of the night was the Piano Man, Bob Rae, who regaled everyone with “you are my sunshine”, “Auld Lang Syne”, and his own version of “Let It Be”. Here’s the video, courtesy of Jeff:
Anonymous Liberal senior strategist strategizers I talked to after the performance generally placed Rae’s talent on par with Harper’s, although one party insider felt Harper had a better singing voice. Still, most were willing to give Bob the edge on creativity, while conceding Harper chutzpah points for the venue choice.
So let’s put it to a vote. After watching both videos, who deserves the title of Political Piano Man?
