Their Comments

No sense yet of “any kind of mutiny”

“Dion is in another friggin” world.”

It’s simply too early in the campaign to write off Mr. Dion and the party.

“The ads were rejigged to suit the leader’s preferences.”

“There’s nobody – nobody in charge except Dion and he isn’t listening.” 

Mr Dion has yet “to get some traction with the public.”

“We have pros working for us, too.”

“Dion is dragging us down”
