Or how it could possibly work, etc. etc.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if these pundits, have watched previous election campaigns. Or noticed the spike in our polling numbers, at the height of the coalition kerfuffle. Or all the video, quotes, pics, etc that we have of all the coalition stooges, which can be packaged in compelling tv ads. <br /><br />I mean really, what better way to slam your opponent, than by using his own words against him ! I'm just a dumb redneck, but I figure that kind of ad is a heck of a lot more effective than showing soldiers in the street, or having little kids heads explode.<br /><br />Does anybody, and I mean anybody, think that Iggy, Jack, Gilles and all their MPs and all their spokespersons can stay on ONE simple, coherent, convincing anti-coalition narrative ? It's going to be one humongous mish-mash of unbelievable gobbledygook.Calgary Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036174847335286409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-58613500179828473162010-09-05T18:09:31.423-07:002010-09-05T18:09:31.423-07:00I'm guessing that Ignatieff will try and sit o...I'm guessing that Ignatieff will try and sit on the fence about a possible coalition pending election results. That's why the PM keeps hammering away at it.<br /><br /> If Ignatieff gives a thumbs up to a coalition during the campaign I think the Conservative's get their majority. If he abandons the idea of a coalition during the campaign and then tries to impose one post election, the PM would be be able to go to the GG asking to disolve Parliament and pointing to Ignatieff assuring Canadian's he would not lead a coalition.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-86412064699214822512010-09-05T18:05:29.655-07:002010-09-05T18:05:29.655-07:00CJ, I agree.

It's a piece of cake. The same is true of the media, when they "anyalze" something PM Harper does.<br /><br />But here's what the Torstar chooses to overlook: It makes sense for PM Harper, other CPC MPs & party spokespersons to bring up the coaltion at just about every opportunity. After all, we are almost two years into a minority gov't, so an election could happen at any time. It takes as much repetition as possible, to get a narrative into the voter consciousness.<br /><br />So Harper is going to take OFF his "non-partisan PM" hat, and put ON his "campaigning leader of the CPC" hat, a lot more often. He is going to be more provocative as well, poking the coalition stooges with a sharp stick. Why ? So that maybe, just maybe, our mediocre msm will take the bait, and next time Iggy has a scrum, will ask him: "Wow, did you know that the PM just said blah blah blah about a possible coalition. What is your response ?"<br /><br />The bottom line for us. We want EVERYBODY using the word "coalition" as much as possible, from here on out. Especially Iggy.Calgary Junkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036174847335286409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-66198328034197002312010-09-05T16:44:49.821-07:002010-09-05T16:44:49.821-07:00Well done Paulsstuff.
