I agree with you on Justin. It wouldn't surprise me if he's leading or close to it within the next 8 years or so. They want the name recognition. And, as you said, a blank slate is in many ways an advantage -- no screw-ups for others to point out.
I wasn't so sure Rae would have an easy time getting his seat, either, but they did put him in in Toronto, which is traditionally a liberal fortress with a few NDP pockets here and there. But he was elected.
