As is frequently the case, I agree with you. My concern is not that the Conservative base is strong enough, but that the current Liberal base isn't. the Conservatives don't get elected unless the people usually content to sit on the fence till election day vote for them, and I fear that they will decide come election time, regardless of who is leading to give the other party a chance, after all, how bad could it be? I have a very long memory, and Harper and Mike Harris have scarred it for life. I don't think most Canadians are that committed to the politics involved. I've also tweeted a concern that a farther Right Conservative party might reach out towards the far right nutters in the PPC, after all the last merger worked so well for them. I'm half-kidding, but it is an uncomfortable thought that I can't shake. Thoughts?
