Stephane Dion!!!
Total ballots cast: 4625
Spoiled ballots: 20
Total valid ballots: 4605
Total needed to win: 2304
Dion 54.7% 2521
Ignatieff 45.3% 2084
I had predicted Dion 58% Ignatieff 42% about an hour ago and have been hoping that either Dion or Rae would win all along. I'm grateful that the Liberals rejected Ignatieff and his right-wing beliefs since I have opposed his candidacy since day one.
Congratulations, Mr Dion.
Onward and upward from here.
Sidebar: A liitle blast from the past...
Layton's NDP convention speech from September, 2006: "[Dion is] distinct from his principal opponents in being a committed Canadian and a man of principle and conviction. And therefore almost certain not to be elected leader of the Liberal party."
