That was a great link Ace. That list of "weighing their options" is an interesting one. I was surprised to see Denis Mills on that list. He was the MP for my riding before Jack Layton beat him. I generally saw him as a backbencher who traded on his proximity to power (i.e. he knew Trudeau). The only thing I can remember him doing, in all the years he was around, was to help organize SARStock.
His ideas for the Toronto waterfront were laughable (in fact I think most did actually laugh at his ideas).
Interesting as well to see names like David Orchard and Scott Brison, former Progressive Conservatives on a list with the likes of Bob Rae and Joe Volpe, current NDPers.
Given the current list of those with their hat in the ring, I'd say it is a toss up between Gerard Kennedy and Michael Ignatieff (with the edge going to Ignatieff).
