Thanks Ralph

OK, I agree with Ralph Klein’s analysis,

On Wednesday, Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, an often harsh critic of the Liberal government, surprised onlookers when he said he expected Mr. Martin’s party to form the next government.

“If I were a betting man,” the Progressive Conservative Premier told reporters in response to questions about the coming election’s likely outcome.

“I would say there will be another minority. I wish that wouldn’t happen. … It’s a damn shame.”

He said that many voters, especially in Ontario, which has 106 seats in Parliament, probably would not back the Tories because Mr. Harper is seen as being “too much on the right.”

But if I were a Tory I’d be livid. About the best that can be said for this remark is that it came before the campaign rather than a week before the vote…Maybe the Tories could put up a fund to send Ralph to an island without a phone for the duration.

“But if I were a Tory I’d be livid.”

Hmmm. Castigating someone for having an opinion that doesn’t conform to authorized ‘group think’. Sounds kinda Liberal, doesn’t it?

Maybe the Conservatives ARE ready to form the next government after all.

Come on, Jay, this is straight out of Our Great Leader Harper’s playbook: “Assume we’re behind.” My Conservative bretheren are not overly burdened with guile; frankly I’m surprised to see them do something this clever.
