Donolo goes lite

Pollster Peter Donolo, a Liberal strategist and former Chretien communication guy, just released a poll through his company, The Strategic Council. The poll took the political temperatures in Ontario and Canada and confirms what other polls have been telling us - that the Libs have overtaken the Cons in Ontario and national contests.

However methinks that Donolo's reading of the trend is a bit flawed. He concludes that the Cons number reflect a country in economic trouble. In fact Canadians are flocking away from the Cons because they do not trust them to do, say or even think the right thing for Canadians, This distrust will be further deepened when Harper's minions begin their character assassination attempt on Liberal leader Mike. Expect that flurry of gut spew to begin around the Lib convention in May.

Cons could not care less about Canadians. They even stoop to denigrating their own former leader and two time winner Bullshitroney. Lib leader Mike reminded the Cons that Mulroney was not convicted of anything... yet... and as a former Prime Minister he was due at least a little respect from his party.

The Con attitude toward Mulroney is due to the FACT that the Rabid Right and the Weak Right of the Conservative party are two people separated within a common belief. A bit like Shias and Sunnis or Baptists and everyone else.

It goes to show that sometimes you have to look way behind the numbers.
