What a surprise Bob Rae's in the race

OK it took a while but BR wants to be the leader of the Liberal Party. Nothing wrong with that but I do think he should not be in. He is too old to rejuvenate the party. We need generational change not just change. I don't beat up on him for switching parties, Winston Churchill did it three times, but I do begrudge him the chance because in his last appearance as leader (of the NDP) he proceeded to jettison the party platform and govern like a liberal when he wasn't. Perhaps this time when he is a Liberal and there is no discernible party policy he might actually make it work. In fact his readiness to adopt Keynsian economics in 1990 in the last recession should be seen as a plus. I guess it's OK to run deficits now (come back Floyd Laughren all is forgiven) but not when you are a dipper. After all how could anyone govern with a majority when 67% of the population didn't support you?
