Advice for Dion

Cherniak gives some good advice to Dion and the Liberal brain trust:

We knew that Ignatieff and Rae were better communicators, but we picked Dion because we believed that he would make the best prime minister of the group. Instead of trying to change Dion's style so that he seems like a new person, we need to focus on his strengths. They are analysis, clarity and decency - not partisan rhetoric and word smithing. Let the rest of caucus throw the mud.

Exactly.
