I don't think that the restart thing will have a great deal of legs, to me while it makes Dion look like a bit of a bumbler, it also gives him a human quality.

However I don't think any political party should have the right to ask or demand that something like this not be shown, the press doesn't work for the Liberals or the Conservatives or anyone, and their first responsibility is to report the news, and since Dion is running for the position of Prime Minister, we have a right to see this, and the press has a right to report it.

You can be sure that the Liberals would be screaming bloody murder if the Conservatives had made a request to the press not to show Harper bumbling like that.

But to me its not a big deal.
