Too Liberal?

Paul Wells prints (types?) a letter from a reader who worries that Dion has gone too hyper-partisan and is not capitalizing enough on his strengths - like his integrity. Two thoughts:

First of all, as Wells points out, Dion's first job is to build up the Liberals internally, and that mean's the Ken Dryden kind of speeches where the Liberals are the only party to truly care about babies and be committed to the non-eating of said babies.

Secondly, and more worrying, is that Dion shares with Harper more than just being really smart. I think he finds it hard to believe that he is wrong or that possibly some other people might be right. He will not hesitate in telling you why you're wrong. That being said, he's not paranoid and mean-spirited like Harper is, so I think it's something he can work on.
