Gary Doer to be new US ambassador

http://www.cjob.com/News/Local/Story.aspx?ID=1133974

The official word should be coming in the next hour or so. Of course, what is interesting will be to see how long Doer stays US ambassador, or if/when Layton steps down as NDP leader if he will go after the federal leadership. I can see Doer becoming the Frank McKenna of the NDP, the highly respected former Premier who everyone thinks would be a great party leader but for personal reasons never goes after the job.

Ps: I ended up going to Montreal after all, just in case any of you readers were following that sub-plot.

Isn't Doer a bit to the left of Harper..he was more like a liberal
