I had been curious why the Ipsos detailed numbers were rather hard to come by. Funny, how when the conservatives show even a noise blip above the liberals in Ontario, that gets mentioned front and center. But when their own mystical formula puts libs ahead 10 points, it isn't even mentioned.<BR/><BR/>Does sort of explain Harper's sudden graciousness yesterday, which you correctly pegged as well.<BR/><BR/>More sheer strategic genius from the master. I'm sure there will be more nonsense reports on how this puts them exactly where they want to be over 2 years into their minority government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-89635389611075325842008-03-28T20:19:00.000-04:002008-03-28T20:19:00.000-04:00I know.
