CONVENTIONS- FUN TO COVER

Here's Adam Daifallah's take on the Liberals' decision not to scrap leadership conventions. He says delegated conventions rock, and in a lot of ways it is hard to argue. Conventions certainly bring parties a lot of attention and create a lot of excitement so I would agree that these things ought to continue in one form or another, though my preference is something which will include a direct vote by members.

Besides, they're fun to follow. All the commentators are now commenting on all the wild rumors flying. One rumor has a lot of the delegates bolting their first choice after the first ballot. The other rumor is that Ken Dryden may be about to go to Dion. Who knows.

Candidate speeches are coming up on Friday.
