The only poll that really matters is the general election, so I sure hope on December 2nd we choose a leader who can thrive in that vote...

Polls are just that. A reflection of moments in time. So I agree w Antonio.
That said, the #s looked quite good for Rae and may sway delegates whose main issue is electability.
Kennedy's Quebec # were scary. He has much work to do in La Belle Province compared to the others.

to the Rae supporters, remember that there was a poll in 1993 before the election that had Kim Campbell ahead of Jean Chretien.

Also, remember that while there are some people who might consider Bob, does not mean they will actually vote for him. That goes for everybody.

For the purposes of this race, we should be looking towards next weekend

I remember these same polling firms telling us Bob Rae would be close to first after super weekend too.

sorry if im a little skeptic.

with 4500 delegates and no more than 3000 showing...the only poll respondents who matter will be giving their opinions next weekend.

If Bob rae won, I would expect celebration at Tory headquarters. they have no doubt had a crack team hard at work at the Toronto Star morgue digging up everything Bob Rae did, and who said what about him, and what he said about others during his reign of error.
A Bob rae win would cost the LPC at leat 10 seats in Ontario, and get them nowhere in Quebec.
Dion is the answer.
I'm non partisan, but would consider voting Liberal if Stephane Dion was leader. If Bob rae emerges victorious, hell would freeze over before I voted for an LPC candidate.
That said, Dion has the best growth potential amon delegates, as I could see ex officio's moving his way once their hands are no longer tied. Only a Quebec breakthrough wins back government.

"Iggy fantasizes that he will win votes from the Bloc (impossible, because he's a federalist) and the Greens (who cares?), but the truth is we will lose under him, and he has zero support for his QC platform outside of QC."

Actually...a nuance of Quebec politics is that a good chunk of Bloc supporters are neither federalist nor seperatist. Rather, they vote with the Party which represents their best interests.
With the right platform all of Iggy, Dion and Rae can credibly stake claim to these voters. In time, Kennedy too.
