So who are the potential leaders
Bob Rae
Justin Trudeau
Scott Brison? - Could be an interesting dynamic as the first married Gay Party Leader.
Denis Coderre? - Has been at war with his own party with Ignatieff threatening expulsion if he did more harm to the Liberal party. He also still stinks to much from the sponsor ship scandal.
Ruby Dhalla? - Is the time right for a woman Liberal Leader?
Ken Dryden? - Oh god the guy has no charisma at all.
Gerald Kennedy? - Probably a severe underdog and one of the powers behind the throne with Bob Rae. He might have to pay a price for this election.
John Manley - He's effectively retired from politics, but it might be wise for the Liberals to try to get him back. Don't know if he has the ambition.
Frank McKenna - Another one who left politics but he's the thousand pound gorilla in the room as he was an extremely popular politician and closer to a middle ground Liberal.
Elizabeth May - Don't laugh, the woman is crazy enough to throw her hat in the ring after she gets bounced from the Greens for her terrible record. We also need to remember that she is close to the Liberal old guard.
Who else?

Dominic LeBlanc has come up as a possibility before. I think he'd have a better chance of winning a federal election than Rae or Trudeau.
