Is this a surprise? No. It's a time-worn leftist tactic.
BTW, excellent blog, Laurent. And thanks for the translation for this Franco-impaired Anglophone from the US of A.
Merci pour le lien, Laurent. C'est toujours amusant l'attention que peut recevoir une montée de lait comme celle-là.
Bob, contrary to Laurent, I am not convinced this is a tactic. My gut instinct is that it is just a blunder. It just seems to ill-advised be a tactical choice, but Pauline Marois has been known to be ill-advised, so I might just be naive.

Those feminists who vote for a woman, whatever the candidate will still do so, but I would think that most members will vote for the candidate they think will make the best premier. And that's the trickiest part. Will Marois actually be considered strong enough on issues that she could make a good premier? She was a rather average minister... now the question is: "Was Boisclair better?"
