Frankly, I'm for Frank

With the election out of the way and M. Dion about to jump overboard, it is time to think about the future of the Liberal Party and the Liberal brand.

I talked with a colleague in Alberta yesterday and one on Manitoba on Thursday.  Both agree that Frank McKenna has great appeal in their regions - and not just with Liberals.

McKenna was the Premier of the only bilingual province in Canada.  He promised that he would retire after 10 years - AND KEPT HIS WORD.  He balanced budgets, listened to the people and ran a clean caucus.  He became The Canadian Ambassador to Washington and now sits on the Board of a major Canadian bank. 

Sounds like a winner to me.

Former Tory Premier Bernard Lord, in a interview, stated that McKenna would make a good Lib Cheif, but not right now.  Is that because Lord covets the Tory leadership position and doesn't want to fight against McKenna?  I am just asking.

The Liberal party needs a house cleaning, starting at the highest level and going right to the local level. 

McKenna... McKenna... McKenna!
