If we assume all of Kennedy’s delegates go Dion, we have 1481 Ignatieff, 1132 Rae, 1854 Dion. Dryden’s delegates are likely to shift Rae.
Voting on the third ballot begins in 10 minutes.
Now this is exciting. We could have a surprise ending here.

Second ballot
Ignatieff: 1481
Rae: 1132
Dion: 974
Kennedy: 884
Dryden: 219
Looks like this one’s between Dion and Rae.
It’s too bad that Dryden’s personality is so flat. He probably would have been a serious contender if he was able to emote. He’s giving his speech now.
Ignatieff is done is probably done. It’s unlikely that Kennedy’s people will overwhelmingly go Iggy.
UPDATE: Dryden has endorsed Rae. Dryden has advised his delegates to vote as they choose.
UPDATE: Who’s on the 3rd ballot? Will Kennedy drop off and be kingmaker?

Friday morning blogging the convention after a couple of great hospitality suites last night. Ignatieff had the big party at the Intercontinental, ironically where Ezra Levant had his Western Standard Party just two years ago at the CPC policy convention.
Activists at the Ignatieff hospitality suite were handing out buttons to delegates and they’re already a hit. I’ve heard that these edgy buttons even have asking prices.
I’ve collected them all!
