Quote:
A new poll finds Stephane Dion's victory at the Liberal leadership convention puts the party ahead of the ruling Conservatives for the first time since January's election.

The Liberals have moved six percentage points ahead of Stephen Harper's Conservatives, according to a poll conducted by the Strategic Counsel for CTV and The Globe and Mail in the hours after the convention.

* Liberals: 37 per cent (+5)
* Conservatives: 31 per cent (-1)
* NDP: 14 per cent (-3)
* Bloc Quebecois: 11 per cent (unchanged)
* Greens: 7 per cent (-2)

While not an explicit Dion supporter, I think that he was probably the best choice of the three main candidates, for the reasons that will continue to be restated by columnists for the next three months.

I'm not so clear on my feelings about saying "Prime Minister Dion". Considering that saying "Prime Minister Harper" doesn't make me spontaneously combust, I don't think that PM Dion would be any worse. He just doesn't immediately strike me as a guy who would be Prime Minister.

If I were him though, I'd be pretty darn confident. After all, he'd have to really screw up to be worse than either of the last two Liberal party leaders.
