| Gordon Campbell to make Significant Announcement http://www.cknw.com/Channels/Reg/New...spx?ID=1305838 Quote:
Premier Gordon Campbell is summoning the media to what is being called a "significant announcement" this morning.
A news conference is set for 11:30 this morning at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Vancouver.
No word on the content of the announcement, but it comes as rumours swirl in Victoria that back-bench MLA's will discuss his leadership at a caucus meeting tomorrow.
Campbell is also set to receive the results of a confidence vote by party members at the Liberal convention in Penticton later this month.

Who's next up in the Liberal Party?
Politics within a political party = good times. Like vultures. It's every person for themselves.

Well, it looks like the people got what they wanted - at least, if you believe the comment forums of various newspapers, blogs, etc.

I think they were set up for a leadership review any how in the coming months.
Well this might save the Liberal Party moving forwards. Kevin Falcon's being mentioned a lot but he and Rich Colman are very close to Campbell that might taint them moving forwards.
There's some outsiders, Christie Clark & Diane Watts are being bandied around too. Both would be 'clean' of the whole HST scandal.

A leaderless Liberal party is still better than Carol James and the NDP.
