The buck stops...over there somewhere

The story from election night, when Lib strategists were apparently eager to highlight their own genius in hiding the facts from their leader:
Dion was not prepared to (resign immediately after the election) because he was reeling from the election outcome, having been told only shortly before the polls closed that the Liberals were about to take a hit. He was protected from the bad news to keep him pumped during a final cross-Canada sprint on election eve to ridings where Liberal candidates were in big trouble.
The story now that the Libs are about to blame Dion for everything that's wrong with the party:
Liberal insiders say he was completely surprised by the result, not having consulted with his candidates or having refused to listen to them as to what voters were really telling them.
