Modeling Journey

Bob Rae was crowned interim leader of the Liberals on Wednesday and handed the daunting task of breathing new life into a party that recently suffered the worst electoral drubbing in its history.

The party's national executive is expected to rubber stamp the selection of Rae as caretaker until a full-time leader is chosen. A decision on that will be made next month, but the party doesn't want a leadership race to start until as late as February 2013.
