More than 1,000 respondents were asked by Decima to picture themselves as delegates to this weekend's leadership convention in Montreal <BR/><BR/>In a final-ballot showdown between front-runner Ignatieff and Rae, they were asked who they felt had the best chance to win for the Liberals in the next election. <BR/><BR/>Under this scenario, 37 per cent chose Rae and 25 per cent picked Ignatieff. <BR/><BR/>The results of the poll, which was distributed to The Canadian Press, are considered accurate within plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. <BR/>Decima CEO Bruce Anderson says the poll suggests Rae's winnability factor is perceived to be higher among all age groups, men and women, urban and rural voters, and everywhere but Quebec - where Ignatieff would get 36 per cent support and Rae 25 per cent. <BR/>Ignatieff also led in the poll among self-identified Bloc Quebecois voters. <BR/>© The Canadian Press 2006"CuriosityCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485015529428901518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1164863624887355122006-11-30T00:13:00.000-05:002006-11-30T00:13:00.000-05:00Iggy was there.

I don't understand this. Do people troll through blogs looking for words they object to? Is this some sort of religious thing?Yappahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18126433451905766475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1164850464387240232006-11-29T20:34:00.000-05:002006-11-29T20:34:00.000-05:00I really don't see how profanity and a dismissive ...I really don't see how profanity and a dismissive attitude makes political discussion more worthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-1164850431041970352006-11-29T20:33:00.000-05:002006-11-29T20:33:00.000-05:00I really don't see how profanity and a dismissive ...I really don't see how profanity and a dismissive attitude makes political discussion more worthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
