Reply to: MapleMiss,

The brass ring is grabbed by the person most able to think, and bold enough to act, outside the box.

Also,

Extreme times call for extreme actions

etc., etc., etc.

You could only be referring to Ignatieff as the 'not looking from within'.

Ignatieff, to my understanding, has been a Liberal all his life and so, can hardly say 'not from within'. What he wasn't was a long time politician.

Your reasoning would also exclude Bob Rae as a consideration for Liberal leader, which I suspect is not very likely.

The fact of the matter is that the dynamics are far different now, if in nothing else, in their extremeness, even from when Iggie was made leader, for the Liberal Party and the solution must be based on an analysis of matter as they stand now.

"Been there, done that" simply does not apply.

The Liberals have never 'been there' where they are now and so could not have 'done that', whatever 'that' solution be.

One thing for sure is, if they don't get it right (oops!) I mean correct there's nothing left (oops again) I mean there will be no 'there' to be to.
