May won't endorse Dion, but he's her choice for PM

OTTAWA — Elizabeth May says she won't endorse Liberal Leader Stephane Dion during the current election campaign.
There's no need. Long before the election writ was dropped last Sunday, the Green party leader had repeatedly touted Dion as her choice for Canada's next prime minister.
Yet she professed surprise when Prime Minister Stephen Harper effectively vetoed her participation in the televised leaders' debates on the grounds that she'd be little more than a stalking horse for Dion.
And she was outraged by Harper's prediction that she'll endorse Dion before the campaign is over.
"I wonder how Mr. Harper can predict what I'm going to do, which I don't intend to do, and have that count against me," May fumed.
"I know he does employ a clairvoyant who also is his stylist but unless he's relying on crystal balls, this is nonsense to say `I expect her to do something.' Ask me. I'm not going to do that."
But Harper likely based his prediction more on May's past behaviour than any clairvoyance about the future.
In April 2007, when May and Dion sealed a non-aggression pact -- agreeing not to run candidates against each party's leader -- the two issued a joint statement.
"We recognize that a government in which Stephane Dion served as prime minister could work well with a Green caucus of MPs, led by Elizabeth May, committed to action on climate change," they said.
May went further in subsequent interviews:
"Yes, Stephane Dion would like to see me in the House of Commons and I think that he should be prime minister," she said, adding with a laugh: "Of course, I'm my first choice for prime minister but he'd be very good as second choice."
