Now that the rules have been announced, here are my picks for people who I believe will enter the race. Anyone who wants to enter what will no doubt be the most informal pool ever can post their picks in the comments section or e-mail them to me.

1 point for correctly predicting someone who will run, -1 point for saying someone will run who doesn’t. Get your picks in by Wednesday and I’ll announce the winner in a few months. A bonus point for anyone correctly predicting someone not on this list who runs.

My Entry
Martha Hall Findlay (free point for everyone!)
John Godfrey
Belinda Stronach
Scott Brison
Michael Ignatieff
Joe Volpe
Maurizio Bevilacqua
Stephane Dion
Gerard Kennedy
Ken Dryden
Dennis Corderre
Carolyn Bennett
David McGuinty
Ralph Goodale

I wanted at least one high profile ommision on my list so I decided to go out on a limb and say that Bob Rae skips it. So enter your picks – I suspect I’m gonna have quite a few leadership profiles to write up…
