Liberal leader Stéphane Dion will stay on as Liberal party leader until a leadership convention is held. He then will step down to become the 2nd Liberal leader in history not to become prime minister. Edward Blake, who held the party's top job from 1880-87, previously left the post without ever serving as prime minister.
Obvious potential leadership candidates are: Bob Rae, Michael Ignatieff, Frank McKenna, John Manley, Brian Tobin, and for an outside chance coming up the rail brushing his hair - Justin Trudeau.
My picks for Liberal leader include: Céline Dion, William Lyon Mackenzie King, Edward Blake, John Turner, Sheila Copps, Elizabeth May, or Hedy Fry.
