As a card-carrying Liberal who doesn't support Dion, I hope to see the Libs lose 10-15 seats to a combination of the NDP, Bloc, and Greens, preserving the weak CPC minority but forcing a party leadership review and hopefully the removal of Dion.
RUMOUR TIME:
My father is a fairly prominent member of the business community in New Brunswick. When Elton John performed in Saint John a few weeks ago, his company hosted several members of the provincial government, including Premier Shawn Graham, in their corporate box at Harbour Station. According to Graham, Frank McKenna is very seriously considering running for the leadership of the federal Liberals should Dion be forced to step down.
So take that for what it's worth. It's only a rumour, of course, but the source is more reliable than Orange Julius Guy.

A more interesting question is who replaces Harper after the election.
Latest Nanos has it 34-31
Latest Decima has it 31-26
I would say that their polling theme song is "Sinking Like a Sunset" by Tom Cochrane, but I know how much Harper appreciates Canadian culture, it is more likely "Free Falling" by Tom Petty....
