I'll be damned
Incredible in some ways. The Conservatives just dropped the proverbial pre-election bribery budget, have launched their fifth series of attack ads against Stephane Dion, which has resulted in their leader looking far better in comparison, and despite all of that, they've actually dropped into a tie with the Liberals nationally.
“Two weeks ago, when they had their mini-budget, with billions and billions of tax cuts, they couldn't have imagined that the Canadian public would thank them by seeing their numbers drop,” he said.
Apparently, bribery attempts just don't get the reaction they used to. I'm impressed.
Of course, it doesn't help that they're dealing with the fact that Harper and the Great Satan of Canadian politics Mulroney were close friends; that they have issues with riding associations choosing their own candidates; that they've taken a "we don't mind other countries killing Canadians" approach to death penalty cases; and keep showing a far better grasp of rhetoric and little in the way of action for most of their other promises. That kind of stuff is bound to catch up to you eventually, regardless how much you hound the opposition leader.
