It does seem like the Party is uniting behind Ignatieff; Rae will play a crucial part in the future and (I hope) the next Liberal government. But now we have to stop fighting amongst ourselves and focus on taking back Parliament.
Liberals broaden leadership consultation but not enough to satisfy Rae
OTTAWA - The Liberal national executive has broadened the consultation process for quickly choosing a new federal leader but thousands of rank and file party members will still have no say in selecting Stephane Dion's replacement.
The decision late Monday will come as a bitter disappointment to leadership contender Bob Rae, who had been lobbying hard to have the party adopt an accelerated contest that would give every party member a vote.
Liberals close to Rae said the former Ontario premier will now have to consider whether there's any point to forcing a final confrontation with frontrunner Michael Ignatieff, his old friend and onetime university roommate, or simply bow out of the race now.

The story behind the story is that we have a rogue caucus that does not believe they need the membership. So, bye ... I quit.
"Broaden consultation" - yes, but no vote for me.
I'm done.
I didn't get a say on what matters most to this country.
Imagine the outrage if members of the Democratic Party were not allowed to vote between Obama and Clinton!
I quit, and no, I won't be joining the victory fund, so fuck off with the emails every day.
