         <description><![CDATA[The bookend to our last podcast as this is the post Quebec election special where we discuss if this was a realignment election, what this election means for the three main party leaders and what this means towards a federal election.

Joining me to discuss these issues were <a href="http://www.macleans.ca/macleans50/archive.jsp?id=28">Tasha Kheiriddin</a> (who we snagged for the full podcast), <a href="http://fuddle-duddle.blogspot.com/">Antonio DiDomizio</a> and <a href="http://calgarygrit.blogspot.com/">Dan Arnold</a>.  I think we caught lightning in a bottle with this one.

         <title>March 18, 2007 (29:41) - Jamey Heath</title>
         <description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of interviewing former Research & Communications director for the NDP Jamey Heath about his new book <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.ca%2FDead-Centre-Possibility-Canadian-Progressives%2Fdp%2F0470840730%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fqid%3D1171902195%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks&tag=politicalstap-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=15121&creative=330641">Dead Centre</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=politicalstap-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=15" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />: 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?

         <description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of interviewing Toronto Star National Affairs columnist Chantal Hébert regarding her recent book <a href="http://www.amazon.ca/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.ca%2FFrench-Kiss-Stephen-Harpers-Quebec%2Fdp%2F0676979076%2Fsr%3D8-1%2Fqid%3D1172326995%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dbooks&tag=politicalstap-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=15121&creative=330641">French Kiss</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.ca/e/ir?t=politicalstap-20&amp;l=ur2&amp;o=15" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />: 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.

         <description><![CDATA[A special single-issue version of the Bloggers Hotstove panel where we talk about the fall-out from the My Blahg saga.  What does this mean for the future of partisan blogrolls?  How close to political parties are and should partisan blogrolls be?  And would anybody join a blogroll run by a political party.

Joining me to discuss these issues were rookie panelist <a href="http://www.boundbygravity.com/">Andrew Anderson</a> and <a href="http://www.bowjamesbow.ca/blog.shtml">James Bow</a>

         <title>Magic Number: 45.6%</title>
         <description>If Stephane Dion can capture 45.6% of Bob Rae&apos;s delegates then he becomes the next leader of the Liberal party.  Any less than that and Michael Igantieff wins.

Update: Scott Brison just went to Ignatieff.</description>

         <title>Round 3</title>
         <description>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&apos;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.</description>

         <title>Round 2</title>
         <description><![CDATA[Candidate Delegate Change Percentage
Ignatieff  1481  +69  31.6% 
Rae  1132  +155  24.1%
Dion  974  +118  20.8%
Kennedy  884  +30  18.8%
Dryden  219  -19  4.7%

Michael Ignatieff is <i>really</i> 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 <a href="http://www.stimedia.com/audio/Round2Podcast.mp3">here</a>.

And Kennedy has gone to Dion.
