Harper always had the lame angle of just confirming the known offer, to come back under the Con umbrella and fight another election. Even though it didn't add up, it seemed enough to get a bored media to look elsewhere. By challenging the tape, in such a fundamental way, I say again, it acknowledges how damaging those words are, if left intact. Whether people start to put that all together remains to be seen, but it really is the fundamental point here, in my mind. This tape is BAD news for Harper, proven through actions.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-64659322659357680612008-07-13T19:03:00.000-04:002008-07-13T19:03:00.000-04:00This is all to change the channels from "what's on...This is all to change the channels from "what's on the tape" to "the tape".

Even if the Libs lose the case, it's hardly a "win" for Harper, when you consider the daily media consumed with the trial, the question of improper conduct working in tandem with the real questions about what Harper did. Proving it, and creating a cloud, are two seperate things, the Cons know it.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-39179242562468634962008-07-13T18:36:00.000-04:002008-07-13T18:36:00.000-04:00Darn, I forgot to check the follow-up again.Darn, I forgot to check the follow-up again.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-41436361999420890252008-07-13T18:09:00.000-04:002008-07-13T18:09:00.000-04:00I wonder if Moore will stay on this file now that ...I wonder if Moore will stay on this file now that he has a new job?<BR/><BR/>I suppose he is still the most logical choice, but man, this is not going to be pretty come the Fall.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-30891247530448176642008-07-13T16:13:00.000-04:002008-07-13T16:13:00.000-04:00Fixed the link.
