OK, now we are getting the cart ahead of the horse

Pierre Bourque is running an online poll to see who the next Liberal leader will be. Tad premature, don't ya think?

Thanks for the link. I love it. This should drive the “progressive” LibBloggers ballistic. Pity it’s Borque. A CPC-conceived deep-running, silent torpedo?

BBS:

… but still fun!

Not premature at all. The pressure is on from Smith et al, the knives are out, the alternatives (Iggy, Kennedy, Rae) are positioning themselves. CPC Majority? Leadership campaign in 2008.

anon:

We’re all aware that Bourque is a whore, right?

odie441:

Borque is only a whore when he disagrees with thew LPC spin.

I just love the division Dion and his academic loonies have created in the LPC.

What is more inaccurate and has a wider margin of error than a regional poll or snapshot? I’ll tell you, a Bourque double dipper, er, I mean poll! However, it fun just the same.

Btw, why are the Tories so interested in number gazing at this point? IMO, 40% + a floundering leader + a divided party + Jack Layton is = to or greater than the overall sum of the polls, no?

Scott. Nobody is greedy here. You can have the “State of Denial” all to yourself.

By the time the next election is over Brian Tobin will decide he has spent enough time with his family…

Dion could be the Liberal’s Stockwell Day.

Or worse Kim Campbell if things don’t shape up soon.

In advance of what is certain to be a Rick Mercer skit soon along the lines of, “Employ a severely disillusioned Liberal supporter”, I have dredged up every last ounce of my humanitarianism and offered Liberals some advice:

Since I am now completely out of the milk of human kindness, it’s going to have to be a one-time offer.

PlaidShirt:

Not premature. Politics is now a fast paced busines. Loyality is a liability. GWB killed the GOP last year by being loyal to Rumsfeld. The Dems killed off their NJ candidate in 2004 and did a renomination AFTER the primaries because he was tanking at the polls. Stockwell Day never got a second chance and he picked up seats in the 2000 election, but the polls had him sinking like a stalled ski-doo on open water.

The leadership of Stephane Dion is almost over. The last chapters haven’t been written, but the plot is as obvious as a 50’s sitcom.

ace:

“Dion could be the Liberal’s [sic] Stockwell Day.”

So who’s the CPC’s Stockwell Day?—Oh yeah, the guy in charge of Canada’s national security.

Fergy:

heh “Beware the ides of March”
