"The real obstacle to this deal going through is still within the Liberal party," Boag said, adding the deal is being negotiated by Dion, who believes he has the right to be prime minister.
But it's unclear whether the party wants him to continue, and the leadership candidates were meeting Sunday evening to discuss the matter, Boag said.
But, just in case, I wish to declare that I, as one individual among the many who make up the Liberal party, support Stéphane Dion as our interim leader and the leader of a possible coalition government. The Liberal party's membership should be the ones who choose their next leader.

But I think taking all Liberal references off his blog was a bit fast. Who the heck really knows what is going on.
As the title of my blog states: What Do I Know?
Its funny how the liberals where shouting and screaming when Harper appointed no-elected cabinet ministers but its ok to put the un-elected NDP and liberals in as leaders of Canada, talk about hypocrites.
Mr. FredM:
I believe you are referring to Michael Fortier who was not elected, and instead appointed by Stephen Harper to the Senate so that he could serve as a minister in the Conservative government. By contrast the ministers in Canada's new coalition government would all be elected MPs.
Perhaps your calling NDP and Liberal MPs "un-elected" stems from a mistaken impression that we directly elect our ministers here in Canada. That is incorrect. Perhaps you were thinking of the United States where the chief executive, the President, is directly elected by the people.
