The only poll that counts

It's been two days, so let's lock this race up and call it a coronation: here are the results of my exclusive online Liberal leadership poll, or rather polls. In the "Who will win" category, as expected, Frank McKenna wins in a walk, taking 49% of the nearly 1200 votes cast. Michael Ignatieff is a distant second, with the late John Manley just behind him. The more intriguing result is in the category of "Who should win," as in who would be the best for the party and/or the country. McKenna was the early leader, but at time of writing has been nosed out by, you guessed it, Stephane Dion. (Ignatieff and Manley are tied for third.) Not exactly a representative sample, I grant you, but... (UPDATE: It's McKenna, Tobin on CTV's poll, while the Globe's makes it McKenna by a mile.) Oh, and as for "Who should the Tories want to win"? No contest. A landslide win for the Minister of critic for Complex Files. EQUAL TIME: Meanwhile, Flash Point Canada's extra-realistic transferrable-ballot poll, with 180 votes counted, puts Dion way in front. Second is Ms Complex, so there may be some, ahem, cross-primary voting going on.
