A Great Choice For Deputy Leader

I was so pleased to see today that Dion has chosen to appoint Michael Ignatieff deputy leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Michael Ignatieff has continually impressed me, and will make a great deputy leader. Also, Dion is set to announce the roles the other Leadership will be playing as this party moves forward. Likely including, Gerrard Kennedy, as a senior organizer for the next election campaign, Martha Hall-Findlay, as a policy ambassador to the grassroots, Bob Rae, who will likely be in charge of developing policy for the next election, and unknown positions for the other contenders. I have no doubt that Martha will be extremely effective at connecting with the grassroots, but i am worried Gerrard Kennedy's position may exclude him from running in the next election, which would be very unfortunate, as he would be a good, successful candidate. I look forward to seeing tomorrow what the other contenders receive, but so far i am impressed. Ignatieff will make a great deputy leader.

In my mind, I'm begging Dion NOT to make Kennedy an organizer. We need him in Parliament. I really hope he becomes a candidate for us.
