I didn't see this coming

Rocco is a great guy and a fine Liberal.

Senior federal Liberal quitting to run for Toronto mayor

The Liberal Party's national director has resigned to run for mayor of Toronto, a move that leaves Michael Ignatieff without his star fundraiser and alters the dynamic of the wide-open contest to lead Toronto.

Rocco Rossi, 47, confirmed in an interview Friday night he will formally announce his intentions Monday at Toronto City Hall.

"I have loved and cherished the time with the Liberal Party and Michael Ignatieff. But while I've been a Liberal since I was 11, I've been a Torontonian since I was born," he said. "I love the city, and I think I bring a unique set of strengths and weaknesses to the job and want to spend a year laying those out to Torontonians."

Those two sounds you just heard were George Smitherman slapping his forehead, and John Tory dancing a jig.

I believe we will now see the final resolution of the anti-omnipotence paradox- what happens when someone who can't win finds himself in an election he can't lose?

John Tory, physicists and philosophers around the world are watching this election on the edge of their seats. No matter what happens, you will not disappoint.
