You really don't get it. Its not just about these two candidates (and the others who weren't outed). I'm talking about the over-arching idea. Every time a guy like you came into this thread and decried Alison Redford as being akin to a commie, or implying that only a moron would support her you were driving away supporters.
I was undecided. I worked hard to get a friend of mine elected as a Liberal, but live in a different riding. Frankly, I was against the PC's just as much as you. But when you start to fire shots about how the liberal elites and that kind of nonsense you quickly drive people away. Part of the people you drive away with those comments are PC's normally who aren't sure.
You can keep on rambling and hope that this somehow makes the problem these two comments. I don't think that is the whole story though. The Wildrose tried to polarize the entire debate between them and everyone else, and last night they got a result indicative of that. You would think a party of farmers and ivory tower elites would know that you reap what you sow.
