waiting for second ballot results, interesting strolls across the floor

No commitments made, it seems, until we see the results, I am sure.

BUT: We just saw Gerard Kennedy and Stephane Dion do a meet&greet. This has been rumoured all week.

THEN:

We saw Bob Rae and Michael Ignatieff do the same. This, of course, was a longstanding old 'conspiracy' that one would throw support to the other.

[Of course, Allan Gregg is saying that the delegates of these two lifelong intellectual friends are much less likely to move smoothly to one another than the Dion-Kennedy supporters are]

And let us recall the contrasts between Rae and Ignatieff on questions such as Iraq, and 'nation' status for Quebec.

Ralph Goodale says No Rae decision has been made.

All of it very exciting stuff. And it is definitely early.

Bring on those results!
