Race closer than thought?

The Globe and Mail writes today that the race for Liberal leader is closer than generally thought and that the presumed Ignatieff is not a sure thing. Based on research by the Decima group, the report overlooks the fact that the October and December votes will be by Liberal Party members only. Party members may be influenced by polls of the broader public but poll results such as the Globe is reporting are essentially meaningless.
