The Weather Report
It is 17 degrees here in Toronto today. The first day of spring.

Hooray, right?

Wrong. The recent snow storms over the past couple of weeks left a lot of snow, which is melting right now and making it unbearably humid. And since the air conditioning isn't on yet here (in my building), well, it's very uncomfortable.

So the most recent news from the campaign is that the Orchard folks are starting to build momentum. The unofficial results from Lisa show that, over the weekend, Orchard's little apples have pulled to within 6 delegates of the frontrunner, Peter MacKay.
The Orchard campaign has over a million dollars in it's warchest at the moment, and the other campaigns do not. This is not very good news for the party. If anything, an Orchard win would be good for the Canadian Alliance, as PC members would begin to leave in droves the day after the convention. That probably includes the temporary Tories who are in it merely to support Orchard.
