Not sure yet, but 2pm today is deadline for the ballot so my guess is that they’re hedging their bets.

Exchange basis one for one, at least until the next recall notice on this Ford brother.
Wonder if he’ll vanish like Rob did?

Either that “tumour” (yah,I know,you guys misspell it up there) is bad or he figures he can't win.Jay Leno will be sorry to see him bow out.

The deadline to drop out or be added was 2 PM today. The biopsy results aren’t due until next week, but on the whole it doesn’t look good. Within hours after the tumor was found, the talking heads in T.O. had raised the possibility—they may even have given the idea to the Fords.

Are political dynasties common up there? As you very probably know they sure are down here!
