A look at potential NDP leadership candidates

I have an analysis piece on the Ottawa page of Xtra.ca which looks at the current slate of candidates who are mulling the NDP leadership. While this has been a fairly common story going around, I'd like to think that I did bring a couple of things to the table that others haven't mentioned, such as Paul Dewar's expending his political capital on local municipal issues, the unresolved questions around Françoise Boivin's departure from the Liberal party, and the fact that people are underestimating the appeal that Megan Leslie has with the younger members of the party, who all adore her (and tell me so on a regular basis).
