It think a little bald man running and Trudeau v2 running would have made the race quite a bitt different IMO.
There was likely a reason Trudeau v2 didnt run, and that was probably due to advance polling months ago combined with the NDP's candidate.
I love how yesterday CBC had on Jean Laperriere (sp?) who used to hold that riding but is now a Liberal analyst dogging who after a whole 2 years the Conservatives still dont have any groundpounders in Quebec. Well guess what Jean, you dont need your own groundpounders if you pay the ADQ to do the groundpounding for you.
Look for Harper to try to force an election, winning a seat by a descent margin and only losing one other by less than 1500 votes might be just what the Conservatives need. Ignore downtown Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver and save your money for the burbs. If he could somehow take the lead on exiting Afghanistan (I know its a low ball move to politicize the conflict over there but thats what politics is, low balling). Then he would be primed for more seats in QC - maybe enough for a majority.
Its too bad we dont know what the candidates for US President would be. For the Reps if its anyone other than Guliani then they will lose so might as well get out in front by announcing the Afghan withdrawl now. If Guliani wins then it becomes more politically dicey to formerlly announce withdrawl rather than putting it to a vote.
Also I would really like to see what Dion would look like durring the debate.
