Yes, there are definitely leadership problems with the Liberal Party. The <i>issue</i>  is that too many Liberal bloggers seem to have bought into Harper's propaganda, and think that it's somehow a "lack of leadership" from Dion, and that (presumably) some other leader would be kicking ass and running an election right now. I think people are missing the basic point: that <i>none of this will change by attacking Dion</i>. Dion isn't the problem, and pretending that he is just helps Harper's attempts to exacerbate the factional conflict within the Liberal party. If you want real change, accept that Dion isn't the issue, and start aiming your guns at the <i>real</i> power in the party.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('13884','Demosthenes'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('13884','Demosthenes','You nailed the essential point, Scott, though I\'m not quite sure you realized it.
