What do you call a dipstick on wheels?

Minister of Democratic Renewal in Charge of Campaigning for the Liberal Leadership on Taxpayer's Dime.

Or at least that's what the title should be. The National Post is reporting that Belinda is going on a tour across Canada to listen to Canadians (read: Liberals), especially young Canadians (read: riding Presidents.)

So here is the question you have to ask yourself:

How long?

How long will she wait before she pulls the plug on poor Paul and goes for his job. Here is how, if her strategists are smart, it should pan out:

1. Hope that Martin wins a majority so the natural successors become to old (i.e. Manley)
2. After winning a majority, Martin would be too old to serve out the full term, so there would have to be a leadership race say by 2009, where a few people from Quebec (Chretien Loyalists), some from Ontario (certain Harvard professors), and Belinda would be the contenders. It'd be the most number of candidates for leadership since Ernst Zundel was a member of the Liberal Party.
3. In such a wide field, money talks. Just like she did during the Tory race, Belinda can go around buying support. Except this time around, she will no longer be new to politics and she will have had four years to crisscross the country on taxpayer's dime.

Winner of this strategy: Belinda
Losers: Scott Brison, and oh, every actual Liberal who has spent hours working to elect Liberals since he/she was 14.

The only flaw: Belinda Stronach is no Hillary Clinton. Clinton is smart, shrewd, and willing to wait to get the top prize. Belinda is an impatient idiot. She couldn’t finish her Fashion Degree at York, she couldn't finish the job as CEO, she couldn't finish the job as the Tory, and she won't be able to wait long enough and work hard enough to win the top job with the Grits.
