CTV is interviewing Michael Ignatieff and Bob Rae by split screen. The analysts on all the networks are calling Dion done.

Further to Paul’s post, there’s no indication Mr. Dion will resign tonight. It’s being billed as a “candid” speech, but not a farewell. 

If we assume he’s not automatically disqualified by a loss, then maybe we split hairs, like guessing how many seats the Liberals have to finish this evening with to justify Mr. Dion’s continued existence.

If you wanted to play that game, you might spend the rest of the night watching to see if the Liberals can get back to 80.
