Oh, one more thing

Did anyone see this remarkable "reportorial" in the Globe and Mail?

In a telephone conversation with party executives on Jan. 26, Mr. Martin declared that he intended to resign "soon," and that he would consult them about the appointment of an interim leader. Party members breathed a huge sigh of relief. Then the unexpected happened. After conversations with close supporters, including at least one Liberal senator, Mr. Martin changed his mind. The Liberal leader emerged from a caucus meeting on Feb. 1 with the news that former cabinet minister Bill Graham would replace him as parliamentary leader but that he would remain as party leader until his replacement was selected. The executives were miffed... What happens if the government is defeated before Mr. Martin is replaced?... Party organizers can only hold their breath, because they do not want Mr. Martin to lead them into another election... [T]o block an emergency comeback by Mr. Martin with the same tired crew of counsellors, executives are examining ways to select delegates well before the convention. That way, the executives could rapidly organize an electronic leadership vote by those delegates, ensuring the party would have a new leader even if the government fell unexpectedly over the next few months. It's that bad.

Has this been reported anywhere else?
