Blue Grit was the first to report the news that an anything but blue Liberal, John Godfrey, is set to throw his hat into the Liberal leadership race.

Don Newman mentioned it to lead off his Politics broaaaaaddddcast Friday…then ignored it for the rest of the show so I’m not sure if this is a done deal or just more speculation.

Hopefully this is true – I think Godfrey would bring a lot to the race. I’ve updated my scorecard accordingly.

On a semi-related note, Paul Wells inadvertently killing the Draft Dion blog is one of the funniest things I’ve seen on the net in a while.
