Thoughts on Election Timing

One of Mr. H.'s most telling remarks was, when asked about an election, "I'm enjoying myself". Add that to his utter dislike of interacting with Canadians and his love of the el presidente propoganda moments created for him by his p.r. (dare I say propoganda) minions, and his love of all things Rovian (CarlRove et al), one is left with the distinct impression that the next election will be either very difficult for him, if he gets off his high horse and has to return to the human world, or one of the most bizarre ever seen in Canada, with the other contenders mixing with Canadians and Harper speaking to the us all like 'big brother' transmitted from his remote p.r. centre or from raised podiums cordoned off from all but a select audience.

There must be people in his entourage smart enough to realize that either of these election scenarios could very well be a disaster. Hence I predict, Mr. H. will pretend to be ready for an election but do everything he can to to prevent one happening any earlier than 2009. From a distance it seems his love of power grows by the day and any humility was gone long ago, not a good recipe for meeting the people and putting your fate in their hands.
