  This is a ranked ballot, not a winner takes all ballot.
  
  Michael Chong will win.  I'm not even a Conservative supporter, I am in no way a Chong supporter.
  
  As a second choice candidate for all the "front runners", he will clean house like Dion did at the last minute in the first Ignatieff/Rae "front runner run.
  
  Chong is a Conservative, he is moderate, and he (quite politely, I might add) is the antidote for the reason that everyone hated Harper with a passion (many in his own party, I might add).  The original Reform movement was all about bringing power back to the MPs, and allowing free votes, so he will garner the Reform vote.  He is also not a Christian right zealot, so the red Tories will find him attractive, far more so than mad Max or Leitch.  
  
  Leitch is also a lesbian, which while I wouldn't care about her sexual orientation, the Christian right wing certainly will object to.
