Deadline of June 7th is getitng pretty close." Well, now you reveal yourself. From everything I've heard, Dion really didn't do much to retire his debt, he was focused on other things. I don't think it much of a statement on anything, nor do I think he will have any trouble paying it off. Let's keep it real, if Dion did a cross-country "retire my debt" tour, it would be paid off in no time. Talk is cheap, so as an example, Dion gave the party the MAXIMUM in the last quarter, money, if he was consumed, could have been used to pay off his debt. As Scott himself said "even" I was impressed with the fundraising, which should at least say my reaction isn't some kneejerk partisan opinion. It's impressive, and you're just trying to poke holes, because of your own bias.
