Even with the 'natural governing party', people are rejecting his ideas and so-called leadership. Even David McGuinty slammed Dion on his precious carbon tax - this will greatly hurt Dion's chances in Ontario outside Toronto.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31415271.post-9307930120139621262008-05-29T10:45:00.000-06:002008-05-29T10:45:00.000-06:00Whooee! Well KenFeller, we ain't gonna elect PM Li...Whooee! Well KenFeller, we ain't gonna elect PM Lizzie May or PM Jack Layton. He may not be much but Dion's lookin' better an' better versus Harper all the time. <BR/><BR/>I think the Grits can pull off a minority. What I'm noticing is a much greater willingness to have the Grits fronted by well-spoken guys like Iggy, Goodale and Rae. That thing last week where they said teh Lib's are rallyin' around Dion and his carbon tax looks like it might actually be workin'.<BR/><BR/>If the Grits can go out and sell tax-shiftin' on teh BBQ circuit this summer and Harper's shallow talent pool continues to bellyflop, the Grits got a chance. <BR/><BR/>Of course, we need a few Greens in there next time, too. If we can get Lizzie on the TV debates, we can win seats. Central Nova's lookin' better and better as the Con's are foundering and Petey MacKay's chances are gettin' slimmer.<BR/><BR/>Long term change is what us Greens have been about for a long time. We know we ain't gonna form the gummint anytime soon, if ever. We been patiently working and building support for green initiatives. The fact that we seem to have won Dion and the Grits over to our tax shift policy is dang encouraging.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.com
