I give a lot more credit to Liberal thinkig people, they can be swayed with reason. And a lot of them will not be happy with the Liberal party for a long time to come no matter who is running it.

Well, I do think there has to be a faction of Liberals that are pulling their hair out seeing Dion flail away in the Commons the last couple days.
On the face, they still have to show as much strength as they've got, and using Dion as a guinea pig to see how the coaltion talk goes.
Clearly, after only a few days, its not quite as popular as the Liberals hoped, and sliding a new guy into Dion's chair as PM has to be slim to none that this seperatist coaltion with last until May, if at all.
Again though, let Dion take the heat this week and dont damage the next leadserhiip hopefulls as much as possible, while still holding onto the strings of a united party. If you're the Liberals best thing to do is to not go along with this coaltion, regroup, reorganize, get a charasmatic leader, and go from there.
