there's little that mr. o'toole offers that small, if traditional, red tory swing demographic - the clark swing, that was 8% at one point, and has been coming down, slowly, for years. traditional liberals - like me, even if i'm a self-hating one - are going to be fully revolted by him.

it's the old progressives that'll like the folksiness and cheesy exterior, if he can convince them he's on their side.

if he figures that out, that's the next election - the pcs and liberals partitioning the ndp, and the greens trying to salvage what's left of it.

hey, i warned you not to elect mr. singh. alas.
