It was even more priceless than the political commentator (I think on Mike Duffy, but I could be wrong) the other night who kept using the phrase, "Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full," to indicate what the Liberal caucus was saying to the government with its surrender, and would continue to say with each additional surrender.Brian in Calgaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11143445667558848000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-85256773289207039912007-10-26T19:43:00.000-04:002007-10-26T19:43:00.000-04:00Swift, interesting analysis.

If an election looks like a conservative majority, with a 4 yr mandate, would he really want his province to be on the outside looking in. I doubt it. He would do a flipflop and say NFLD has to be at the table, blah--, therefore, hold your nose and vote conservative.maryThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10099534478709227356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-38779525351435197102007-10-24T23:27:00.000-04:002007-10-24T23:27:00.000-04:00The Liberals do private polls and I think they sho...The Liberals do private polls and I think they show a disaster waiting to happen. Outside the three Newfoundland seats, there may not be more than two or three other seats that the incumbent Conservatives are in any danger of loosing. And they might be more likely to be lost to the NDP. In Quebec the Bloc has 49 seats. The Conservatives will have much better local campaign teams than at any time since the Kim Campbell disaster. The byelections showed just how insecure both Liberal and Bloc seats are. Ontario is split into two parts. The GTA is ging to remain a Liberal stronghold, but a few ridings may turn orange or even blue as some previous Liberal voters slide left or right. Outside the GTA the Liberals are in trouble in many ridings. In my riding we feel we have gone from third to a close second. From the Ontario border to the west coast many ridings are blue already. There are four vacancies in the House, three out west. If they are filled before the next general election the vote totals will be a good indication of how blue western Canada will when the next election is called.<BR/><BR/> Until last election the NDP gave the Liberals a free ride whenever the Conservatives looked like they could form a government. With the weakness of the Bloc and Liberals, Layton sees the possibility of living across the street from Harper and getting a lot more air time on TV. I don't think Dion is going to enjoy the leadership debates.Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17750638224960230614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-71312267970437546492007-10-24T19:26:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:26:00.000-04:00I'm sure that Harper's new seats are quite likely ...<I>I'm sure that Harper's new seats are quite likely to come from Quebec.</I><BR/><BR/>Not quite following your whole comment, but I sure do agree with the last line. The CPC and the NDP would divvy up the spoils from the Liberal massacre. Not sure how the Bloc would fare, but I'm thinking not so good.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, welcome to my blog!

Indeed, while staying a minority government, he'll certainly have more seats. Moreover, I'm sure that Harper's new seats are quite likely to come from Quebec.Anh Khoi Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387547508527604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-80973221406430286072007-10-24T19:19:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:19:00.000-04:00BT - Thanks. :)Anon, Scott Reid is our secret weap...BT - Thanks. :)<BR/><BR/>Anon, Scott Reid is our secret weapon.Joanne (True Blue)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17445664997050698154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-8818334579195345252007-10-24T19:15:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:15:00.000-04:00If Scott Reid is the best the MSM can come up with...If Scott Reid is the best the MSM can come up with then we've got nothing at all to worry about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-17358722626270277382007-10-24T19:10:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:10:00.000-04:00Ried and Fewschuk ... what a pair!Notice how CBC a...Ried and Fewschuk ... what a pair!<BR/><BR/>Notice how CBC and CTV just love to give them all the air time they want?<BR/><BR/>What a pair!OMMAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475151103850378778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-33808342430731608172007-10-24T19:00:00.000-04:002007-10-24T19:00:00.000-04:00Joanne...you are good at this!!Joanne...you are good at this!!bluetechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383132610237010376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-88136049453092726682007-10-24T18:11:00.000-04:002007-10-24T18:11:00.000-04:00Ha!
