The Prediction Game Continues

Well we have a new government with a new party and the prospect of some interesting political alliances- It seems bedfellows make interesting Canadian politics.
With Paul Martin's resignation, the Liberals are going to have themselves a leadership contest- the first real leadership race since Chretien took over after the disaster that was John Turner.
A lot of names are being tossed around including:
Frank McKenna
Brian Tobin
John Manley
Martin Cauchon
Maurizio Bevilacqua
So...my challenge to you all is to predict the next leader of the Liberal Party of Canada.
I predict Frank McKenna.

Voter apathy.

All right, fine, I'll go first on this whole prediction thing. Don ran it last year, and he got what, twelve contributors? I guess I just lack his small-town Ontario charisma.

Conservatives: 134
Liberals: 86
Bloc: 60
NDP: 26
Independent: 2

By the way, Grandma likes Liberals, but hates Conservatives.
