As an NDP member, I'm just gonna say I did not vote for him, in fact, he was my last choice =P. Some of the things he's said and done, like the Bin Laden thing, are just kind of...awkward. He also seems to be too much of a pro-Quebec candidate to really take the party to the national stage and give it a fighting chance at actually forming government. Nonetheless, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise.
