Now,
I’m sure the people who actually get paid to do political punditry would
disagree with me, but I’d argue that little line scored Kathleen Wynne the
first point in Ontario’s leadership race.
She has demonstrated that the person who’s running for leader is the
same one who was much respected as a Cabinet Minister, reaffirming her
integrity and credibility. She has
complimented one of her opponents, setting the campaign respectability bar high
and making it harder for anyone to use personal attacks down the line. At the same time, she has set a positive tone
for the race that will help avoid the fractious politics that often come with
leadership races and could weaken the Liberal Party leading in to a likely
spring election. Not bad for a kick-off,
I’d say.
