As we Liberals come towards delgate selection, we have to ask one simple question:DO WE WANT TO WIN?If the answer is NO - if we, as an aggregate party, feel that it is not time for us to take control again of this country then we have plenty of options for leader:1. Michael Ignatieff - A brillant man with a strong following from the powers that be. But honestly, will this guy sell? I honestly

Dryden is very much in the game Don't be surprised to find the former goalie coming up the middle John Ivison National Post Tuesday, May 02, 2006 Conventional wisdom has it that Ken Dryden will never be leader of the Liberal party because he's too dull, too decent and can't speak French. At the same time as Gerard Kennedy's star went supernova, Mr. Dryden's appeared to fall to earth, as

Ken's announcement on Friday was excellent. He was able to get onto Hockey Night in Canada and clearly and consisely explain why he's running for leader.For him, its not about destiny, not about something he can do - it's about something he wants to do; the next step in his lifelong commitment to making Canada a better place to live.What I like most about Ken is his down-to-earth style - wanting

Well - the moment we have all been waiting for. Ken Dryden is in the race.Check out his website here.He did very well on Canada AM, Mike Duffy and Politics with Newman. Many said he did better than expected - and I have to reason - I think more is yet to come.Ken is it ladies and gentlemen - if the Liberals want to win - he's the man for the job.

Well tomorrow it will finally happen. What this blog has been waiting for a long time. Ken Dryden will officially announce that he is in the race.Today's Globe and Mail had a pretty good column by Lawrence Martin about Ken and his campaign. I have to admit, I am pretty pumped. Of all the candidates in this race - Ken has the most potential. He just has to take advantage of this.Looking at

Some how I got a hold of a copy of Bill C-206, An Act to amend the Employment Insurance Act (extension of benefit period for parental leave) today and realized that Paul Szabo, MP has created an excellent opportunity to get the Conservatives at their own game over childcare.It's a two paragraph bill that will extend the parental leave period from one year to two years. In the era of child care

Sorry for long vacation in posting - I've been waiting for things to gear up in the race.Today - Bevilacqua announces, followed by Volpe and Brison over the next few days. All three will add to the race, but none are ready or able to lead the Liberals forward.Apparently, Dryden is going to announce next week. This blog has been quite upset about the lack of attention paid to the Dryden campaign

Dryden got some good coverage on his trip to the NS Liberal AGM.The NP writes a pretty positive story here."Oh, and I want to stress: Ken Dryden is no pygmie. Check out his quote in today's Post for evidence of that, in the story headline 'Federal Election Loss Good For Party, Dryden Tells Liberals.' (I've been saying that for a while, and have caught no end of shit for it.)" - Warren Kinsella

Yesterday on Mike Duffy Live, we learned that Ken Dryden has accepted an inviation to attend the NS Liberal Party convention in Halifax.We're still routing for Ken to get into the race.

With the release of Alberta's position paper on healthcare yesterday, there is a unique opportunity for Ken to appear as a national leader and defender of our public healthcare system.Hey, you can even use a goaltending analogy. Ken Dryden - Defending Canadian Healthcare! Don't let Ujjal take the lead Ken - you're the critic.You can read Klein's latest attack on our national institutions here.

He's young, fresh and a change to the older leaders the parties have been electing.Experience in leadership battles - Brison impressed a lot of people during his run for the leadership of the PC Party.

SES Research release another poll today showing the Liberals and Tories statistically tied nationally.The first few weeks of the Harper government haven't been good. It appears that the Libs are not out of this.SES got it right both in 2004 and 2006, so its the only poll I trust.You can download the stat sheet here.

There's only one announced candidate for the Liberal leadership - Martha Hall Findley.But many more all mauling over a potential run. Draft Dryden looks at the potential candidates both from a positive and negative angle. Today we start with the princess of the Liberal Party.Belinda StronachProsNational organization - What remains (in the Liberal camp) of her CP leadership run. Rumor has it

A recent Globe article (see below) focuses on a Liberal MPs insistence of a bilingual leader.I'd have to agree. I'm not quite sure how strong Ken's french is, but I'm sure most of the anglo potential leadership candidates (definitely including Brison, Stronach, and Bennett) will have to sharpen up their second language.The biggest thing going for Dryden in Quebec is his recognition there and the

Ken was on CTV News Net last night on the Mike Duffy show.Not a bad performance. You can tell he has substance - isn't going to be flashy but substantive and well spoken. He'll need some work in terms of public speaking, but its nothing an aggressive and thoughtful leadership race can't fix.A number of articles in today's papers point to a leadership race of ideas and yet all fail to mention

Apparently Brison, Ignatieff and Stronach are actively and aggressively assembling an organization for a run at the top job.But there has been no word from Mr. Dryden - apparently very few Liberal staffers have been approached by Dryden or his team.Where are you Ken? You have the product (vision, awareness, credibility) but you need a team to sell it.Don't let all the organizers get away if you

Over the next few weeks, the Draft Dryden Team will provide more detailed explanations as to why we believe Ken should be considered a serious contender for not only the leadership of the Liberal Party, but also as Prime Minister of Canada.Here is an outline of our argument in favour of Ken Dryden:1. National Recognition2. Popularity in Quebec3. A Concensus Builder4. A Man of Vision and Purpose5.

Since Harper turned his back on years of yelling about Senate Reform... I've decided we should see what people think we should do with the second chamber in Parliament.Take our poll here.

Well let's strike this as not quite the start Stephen Harper was hoping for as the new Prime Minister. He promised a government of integrity, a government of accountability and a government unlike that of previous years.Well - looks like he's already failed. Let's just put it this way - a founder of the Reform Party - on his first day in office - not only appoints an unelected member to the
