Next Tanaiste / Deputy Fianna Fail leader?

serfboard · 2008-04-02 16:46:21

Given that most people in the media, on boards (http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2055267239) and the bookies believe that Brian Cowen will be the next leader of Fianna Fail, who do people think will be the next Deputy Leader?

I note that Paddy Power has Micheal Martin at 7/4 and Brian Lenihan at 2/1. So it's Cork Vs. Dublin for the Deputy job? I always thought alright, that Michael thought of himself as a future leader/taoiseach, but what about the balance thing - Non-Dub & Dub as 1 & 2, giving Lenihan a possible chance?

I can see it being Dermot Ahern or one of the ladies. Wouldn't surprise me if Harney went to FF and got it.

Brian Cowan is 1-20 to become Taoiseach while Michael Martin is favourite to becom Tanaiste over at Paddy Power. Incidently they have Bertie at 250-1 to become a barman in Fagans!

Cowan does seem to be Taoiseach in waiting but I wonder what his support is like within the FF party. Will there even be a leadership contest or will he be the unanimous choice?
