Today, Bob Rae picked up a second major endorsement, from Trudeau era and Paul Martin Minister Jack Austin. Austin is the fourth former BC Cabmin to publicly endorse Rae after Hedy Fry, Herb Dhaliwal and Ujjal Dossanjh. Given that David Emerson has crossed over to the dark side, that leaves only David Anderson and Ray Chan in the race as Liberal Cabmins from BC over the last 12 years not supporting Rae. Oops, almost forgot about that political powerhouse Steve Owen from Quadra.
In any event, with big endorsements from Saskatchewan and BC, the big endorsement that all the final 4 must be striving for is that of the former Deputy PM (no not Sheila Copps) Anne McLellan, the cornerstone of the Liberal Party in Alberta. It will be interesting to see if she comes out for Stephane Dion or Bob Rae...
