The votes are in & Ontario's Liberals like Dalton McGuinty as boss.  They really like him.

In a leadership review on Saturday, the McGuinty got an endorsement of 85.8%.

That' higher than the backing of opposition leaders this year.  Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak picked up 78.7% support.  It was 76.4% for NDP boss Andrea Horwath.

The vote of confidence in McGuinty comes despite the party losing its majority & then failing to recapture it with 2 September byelections.

The party has also alienated much of its base as it moves to freeze public sector wages & forcing contracts on teachers.

Dalton McGuinty has led the Ontario Liberal Party since 1996.
