Interesting rumour... Personally I'd vote for him: moderate fiscal conservative, social liberal; he'd be my first choice for Liberal leader, ahead of Ignatieff (who's improved in my opinion now that he's spent a bit of time in Federal politics), while Rae would be a distant third.

But I thought he was pretty emphatic about not wanting to return to politics when people were looking to him after Martin stepped down. Not that he can't change his mind.
