Wonder if Harper has Clint Eastwood ringing in his ears lately. "GO ahead (Iggy) make my day!"

HUGE gap there.

Considering a "Leadership Poll" has no bearing on the national voting do you really think this is important?

You really believe that?

It’s as relevant as who has the nicest hair.

Don't pretend to be obtuse.

Stephane Dion got slaughtered because he and the Liberals were seen as weak and lacking leadership.

Well you can keep telling yourself that if you like, but the voters perception on the leadership quality of the main runners has everything to do with how they'll vote. Remember that an incumbant usually has the advantage so that's also something the other parties have to get around.

OH PLEASE!!! Judging by the Nanos Research I find their results dubious most times. I don't know how they gather their results but they are often off the mark. I don't understand why anybody uses them as an accurate source anymore.

Can you name one of those times? An example? this is how htey scored the last election:

Party............prediction, Election Results
Conservative.....38.4%........36.3%
Liberal..........30.1%........30.2%
NDP..............17.4%........17.5%
Bloc Quebecois...10.6%........10.5%
Green / Other....5.6%.........5.5%


looks pretty good to me.

Poquas has accidently demostrated a core Liberal belief, vote for the party and ideals, leader is never important. Basically a pig in a red sweather would be vote worthy. Were as for conservatives vote for the ideals and the leader is just as important factor to consider when voting.

I knew you were never a Conservative all along Poq, busted.
