I Guess Backwards is a TYPE of Movement
So another story in the newspaper about the leadership race only to tell us that someone else isn't running:
However, on the good side:Regina lawyer Dion Tchorzewski, son of the late NDP stalwart Ed Tchorzewski, had been mulling a run but said Tuesday he's decided not to be a leadership candidate.
And finally:Meanwhile, Dr. Ryan Meili of Saskatoon, one of the founders of the Student Wellness Initiative Toward Community Health (SWITCH) program, confirmed he is considering running for the leadership of the party
So this updates our list as follows:Other MLAs who have said they are considering a run are Frank Quennell, Len Taylor and Deb Higgins. None returned phone calls this week. Former finance minister Andrew Thomson did not return a message. Regina lawyer Yens Pedersen, who has temporarily stepped down as NDP president as he contemplates a run, said he has not yet made a decision.
Deb Higgins
Len Taylor
Yens Pedersen
** Dwain Lingenfelter **
Andrew Thomson
Frank Quennell
Nettie Wiebe
Pat Atkinson
Dr. Ryan Meili
And the Jurist thinks something is afoot with Higgins.

While Tchorzewski would have been one of the better new-guard leadership possibilities, it's at least a plus to see that he's planning to run for a riding nomination in 2011 - if the leadership contest isn't going to do as much as it could to renew the party, then a new batch of strong candidates may be all the more important for that purpose.
