Michael Ignatieff has been notching some key 'wins' when it comes to support from his caucus colleagues but today, Nova Scotia MP Mike Savage (left) declares for Iggy rival Bob Rae:
For me, Bob stands out as the person most capable of ensuring the party does the hard work that is required to prepare us for the next election and the years ahead. He is a decisive leader, someone who has tremendously strong political skills, he has been tested and he understands that government matters and should be an instrument to help those in need. His record of service to Canada is unsurpassed.I know all leadership candidates will endeavour to make this race about leadership and are committed to a respectful and civil debate. At the end of this process, we will be united and ready to defeat Stephen Harper.
