Liberal delegate voting shows Ignatieff lead holding
"The partial tally showed Ignatieff's share of the delegates hovered at about 30 per cent. But strong showings from Bob Rae, Gerard Kennedy and Stéphane Dion left Ignatieff vulnerable to being overtaken by a rival during multiple balloting at the convention, to be held from Nov. 28 to Dec. 3 in Montreal.
...
Rae had secured just over 19 per cent, while Kennedy had 17 per cent and Dion had just over 16 per cent."

I would say Kennedy and Dion both have a good shot of winning now. I find this quite encouraging.

1. As long as Ignatieff gets beaten, I don't care
I grew up in Igantieff's "adopted" riding, Etobicoke-Lakeshore and I heard about the dirty tricks that were used to parchute him in.

And I don't think he'll be any kind of a populist leader as a carpetbagging American who just happened to have been born in Canada.
