The Copyservatives are really without imagination, aren’t they?
On October 14th, don’t vote for a John Howard Copyservative candidate. I mean, don’t vote for a Stephen Harper Conservative candidate.

And now, a not so modest proposal for progressive parties (that includes no baby eating!):
This morning, after Elizabeth May got more national coverage smacking down Mike Duffy’s biased questions, the NDP and Conservatives are hard at work trying to convince us that May is in 3rd in the riding. Nonsense. She’s got national as well as local news coverage, and the NDP who tout previous election results as a guide, are neglecting to mention that’s with a different (and “star”) candidate who isn’t running this time.
A better, and non-partisan, solution to the pickle the progressive parties find themselves in is to admit that none of them are going to win a majority this time, so they should start playing nice with each other and lay the groundwork for a coalition that wants to achieve certain key objectives like controlling climate change, and Reeforrrrming the electoral system. Once those objectives are met, they are free to tear each others’ eyes out for a majority in a fair system that doesn’t favour the Conservatives’ 35% block of voters.

and your blinded by your partisanship. Take a second and rationally analyze the situation.
Personally, I would love to see May in the House of Commons, I am just not convinced that Central Nova is winnable.
Regardless of not having a “star candidate”, the NDP has the resources for this riding. The Liberals are not running, and your fooling yourself if you think that enough Liberals and NDP supporters will migrate to May for her to win.

Astounding…. I wonder if this whole Australian fixation is a sign of some sort of Conservative political fetish.

Sean, how do you explain May finishing second in the London Center byelection, even with the Liberals and NDP running?

that was a by-election… historically they are anything but predictable.
But like I said back at my site, I would love to eat my words on Oct 14th. It would be great for our political system if the Greens could get a seat, more so if it was May.
