Perhaps, but I think he'd be more likely to call one like a shot (depending
on the status of the NDP).   There is widespread apathy about Turner
but there is still a large minority that hate Trudeau's guts.  Moreover, some
of this minority belong to the Liberal party.  My arrogant opinion
(all political opinions should be held arrogantly) is that Trudeau as
interim leader would be a disaster.

     I don't like Broadbent either!
