ELECTION HALF-TIME

Just a few thoughts on the election so far.

1. Harper has done a commendable job. Mister, you are already my Prime Minister.

2. The policy a day approach is articulate, intelligent and smart people are catching on.

3. Sadly, not all voters are smart.

4. The media has been better than I expected. I suspect there is a general sense amongst those close Liberal party supporters that this is a vile, corrupt crew that needs to go. I think many in the media even are beginning to realize this.

5. Sadly, after a decade of brainwashing the electorate, being moderately fair over the past few weeks is not enough to turn the tide. Harper should be waaaaayyyyyyy ahead. Sadly, we know he is not.

6. The average Torontonian still gets their world view from Robin Williams, George Clooney and Jon Stewart. This will not change by January 23.

7. Did I say it already...thanks for the decade of brainwashing Canadian press corps! Now, when we really have a true Prime Minister in waiting, we still have a bumbling, corrupt, arrogant billionaire ahead in the polls. And it ain't GW. Bush.

8. If you are any Christmas party over the holidays and people start bashing America; bring it back to the Liberals in Canada to shut them up.

9. The post Christmas campaign will be brutal. The exploitation of the Holocaust memorial photo is a testament to that. Liberal campaign heads (Scott Reid, John Duffy etc.) are nothing but gutter barrel, new-Left trash.

10. Jack Layton...lay off Harper. I can see it in your interviews. The Marxist ideologue in you is terrified of a Harper Canada. You demonize him at you own peril. Remember, his loss comes at the cost of NDP votes.

11. We'll see how the media treats the Liberals after the dirt flies. That will show how much they love this country.

12. All is not lost, the trends are good and there is a palpable sense of wanting Harper but still a fear of the unknown.

13. Being behind right now still makes Harper the underdog. That is good. He still has momentum. If he were ahead it could backfire.

14. Sadly, that Liberal 35% seems to be hard support.

These are just a few of my thoughts. I hope all of you are well.

Optimism with realism.
