Dead Centre: Hope, Possibility and Unity for Canadian Progressives.
Mr. Heath was great at answering questions succinctly so we were able to cover a lot of ground. Topics included what does "dead centre" mean, what exactly is a "progressive", how many Liberals and Blocquites are progressive? Also covered was the new class frame, working-class versus middle-class or Tories vs. Tommy. Was Pat Martin right about this next election being make or break for the NDP and what is with Elizabeth May?

French Kiss: Stephen Harper's Blind Date with Quebec.
Topics included why the 10 seats the Conservatives won in 2006 were so important, how the Liberals became, in effect, the Ontario party, should there be a progressive merger and could they shed their centralist ways and how is the current Quebec election affecting Stephen Harper's election plans.

Candidate Delegate Change Percentage
Dion 1782 +808 37.0%
Ignatieff 1660 +179 34.5%
Rae 1375 +243 28.5%
So what happens with Rae? Looks like he is setting his delegates free. And he is not announcing how he is going to vote personally.
With Dion's vote going up by 808 you can see that Kennedy really delivered from his 884 pool of delegates. Though it unclear how many Dryden supporters went to Dion.

really in trouble now. It looks like it down to Rae and Dion now. The question is does Kennedy drop out now, play king-maker and shorten this day. Dryden is rambling on right now and it sounds like he is releasing his delegates to go where the want to go. That being said he only has 219 delegates.
Update: Dryden went tp Rae.
Update II: You can hear the blog reaction to the results here.
And Kennedy has gone to Dion.
