The Cons are seeing a limited opportunity and they are hoping that if they don't sink Iggy now, there may be little chance afterwards.<BR/><BR/>Iggy is much more difficult to sink than Dion. But there is still a discontent within the party which can also manifest itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-37607964962100113782009-03-12T20:28:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:28:00.000-04:00Thank you.

Harper is well known for his hyper-partisanship, and after November it reached a critical mass, wherein it's now a negative frame for him. While they might get some mileage smearing the other guy, there is a "more about the messenger" flavor at play. Couple that with the dire economics, and I'm not terribly worried about a repeat of "not a leader". You might diminish Ignatieff, but you reinforce your own sad stature in the process. That doesn't mean we don't respond hard.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-85316035508289537502009-03-12T19:29:00.000-04:002009-03-12T19:29:00.000-04:00I do appreciate the decorum that the liberals and ...I do appreciate the decorum that the liberals and the other opposition parties want to establish, however I'm quite concerned about how this will all turned out as another "Canadians are smarter than this" problem. As much as I believe that Canadians are really smarter than what the tories want them to believe, psychological theory states that constant bombardment of fake ads will become believable overtime. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but I really hope that they have something to counter all of these lies.saiihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01416154368553949028noreply@blogger.com
