Prime Minister Martin conceded defeat, resigned as party leader

Well, the Prime Minister spoke on national television at midnight. Who is left in the new hundred-plus Liberal caucus in Parliament and who are the darkhorses in the party? From Atlantic Canada, former ministers Brison, MacAuley, Regan, Scott, Thibault will be players. Will Ambassador McKenna and former premier Tobin run? From Quebec, is there a Liberal team left, let alone, a Liberal brain trust? Ministers Lapierre and Robillard, who had roots as former ministers in the Turner and Bourassa governments prior to joining Chretien-Martin, will be players. Former minister Coderre used to be Quebec wing president of the Liberal Party. Will Ministers Cutler and Dion, former professors, return to academia part-time? Will retired MP Martin Cauchon run for leader? From Ontario, will former Deputy Prime Minister Manley run? Who will Premier McGuinty support? Within the Liberal caucus, watch for Bevilacqua, Ignatieff, and Volpe. In Manitoba, will minister Alcock keep his seat? In the Prairies, watch who Goodale and McLellan will endorse. Will they run themselves? In British Columbia, will Dosanjh and Emerson run for the Liberal leadership?
