Why only "one" job and which is it? <br /><br />Seems to me that they have failed on the important files - disaster: Chalk River, Listeria, foreing policy, helping workers...which "singular JOB" did they get done?<br /><br />Whatever happened to their promise of improvement in wait times? Money to municipalities? Did Tom Lukiwski fulfill his promise to reach out to the gay and lesbian community during his apology, etc., etc.?<br /><br />So tell me folks - what one job did they get done?RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-41562642667087636942009-05-25T15:12:01.318-04:002009-05-25T15:12:01.318-04:00"And the truth ads were not formulated to increase..."And the truth ads were not formulated to increase voting intentions, they are framing ads."<br /><br />And, one more hysterical point. Go back and tour the Blogging Tories (if you can stomach it) and you'll find wilson here telling everyone that attack ads at this time would be a bad idea, the Cons should run ads on their incredible record of achievement. They should have listened to you, because they're going over like a lead balloon.<br /><br />Now it's all about the leadership numbers, LMAO.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-3848126278036250232009-05-25T15:08:40.474-04:002009-05-25T15:08:40.474-04:00"The poll was also taken before the 2300 CPC suppo..."The poll was also taken before the 2300 CPC supporters gathered in Quebec."<br /><br />Yes, that gathering with a bunch of ADQ supporters, who are at 8% in this poll btw.<br /><br />It's laughable, if anyone thinks that fundraiser will mean SQUAT to Conservative fortunes in Quebec. Okay, to be fair, maybe it will help them get into a tie for THIRD with the NDP. Done, done, done. I hope you enjoyed your scorched earth attacks during the prorogue period, because history will write it as the final nail in your Quebec coffin.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-46675264606544924232009-05-25T13:59:52.840-04:002009-05-25T13:59:52.840-04:00KNB, the poll shows the CPC haven't moved, in Queb...KNB, the poll shows the CPC haven't moved, in Quebec.<br />Big surprise, no.<br />The poll was also taken before the 2300 CPC supporters gathered in Quebec.<br /><br />And the truth ads were not formulated to increase voting intentions, they are framing ads.<br />So if the Cons numbers don't move in the ROC, no big surprise either.<br /><br />The numbers to watch for are the leaders numbers.wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03589410224972050999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-46412208727939608862009-05-25T10:58:46.331-04:002009-05-25T10:58:46.331-04:00After Harper basically told people in Quebec to F....After Harper basically told people in Quebec to F.O., what did you expect?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30594727.post-26280810628209383932009-05-25T09:26:43.553-04:002009-05-25T09:26:43.553-04:00The big difference between this poll and the many ...The big difference between this poll and the many earlier polls showing the Liberal surge is that this poll was taken <I>after the start of the attack ad blitz</I>, between May 14 and 17.<br /><br />So, while prior polls were good, one had no sense of how solid, deep and strong the good polling was.
