Carney?

Let's start out with the obvious: this is a recycled potential political orgasm from yesteryear -- been there, seen that.

Equally obvious: Trudeau's got lots of enemies, party wise. You know, those known as The Outs. They're the so-called wise movers and shakers pushing this.

Carney's ego aside-- hence no quick talking down of a lead balloon -- this gang wants back in to trough feed. Plain and simple.

But bringing in a political neophyte makes absolutely no sense. We painfully learned that with Michael. Even Trudeau was a more seasoned parliamentarian and look how things turned out. From political rock star to likely electoral dud. But Trudeau is smart enough to rightly blame himself.

What we require is a transitional leader who can take the reins in government with a public pledge to only serve one PM mandate. We need time in office for an obvious future leader to emerge.

In short, we've got to find a battle-scarred fighter with a statesman's allure and know how. Again, transition is key to get us the right leader two elections down the road.

Liberals must accept pending defeat. Then move on quickly to a solid transitional figure who can caretaker the party through its next evolution, past the Trudeau loss.

Scheer is easily beatable one election from this one. Liberals should carefully survey the field and pick the best person.

I know who I have in mind. But what about you? And her or his name certainly isn't Carney.
