David Akin has a really interesting post up which summarizes the speculation that he is hearing. If I read him correctly
it seems that two of Monte Solberg, Diane Ablonczy and Jason Kenney will not be in Cabinet. Also Stockwell Day may not make the cut.
We will find out tomorrow. By the by, what is CTV Newsnet going to be talking about from 6:00AM-11:00AM? That is a lot of time to fill in with speculation.
Update: There is even more speculation over the Globe and Mail, but as we get closer it is starting to sound more reasonable. As for the 2 of 3 above - it looks like Monte Solberg is in. The other two? We are not so sure about.
One interesting thing of note is that it appears there will not be a Deputy Prime Minister. Anybody know who gets the Prime Minister's questions when he is not in the House?

Odds are, absent the PM, a relevant minister will answer the question depending on content. For example, the Foreign Affairs minister on any PM gaffes with international ramifications, Finance for the budget, and the Treasury Board president for things related to the public service.

Hmmm, now that Emerson has crossed for a cabinet post, will all the conservative bloggers who went after Belinda (rightly, IMHO) be just as outraged? This may be the first big post-election test for the starboard side of the Canadian blogosphere.
