My Talking Points on the By-Elections

OK CTV, you must have been really pissed that the Liberals did well, beating a dead horse about Saskatchewan, except for Christie Clark - guess she'll never get asked back - who pointed out that the riding has gone every which way over the years. Well here are my talking points that no one seemed to notice (not that the CBC was interested, no coverage at all): 4 by-elections, 3 women candidates! 3 Liberal victories, 2 of them women! Well done Dion, you are moving towards your 1/3 goal. Good speech by Rae focusing on the negative campaigns of the cons and the NDP. Poor showing for the NDP - yep, their anti-Liberal strategy really works! Strong, intelligent and articulate Liberals, one con who said his riding wanted a voice, no one picked up on that - they thought that since the cons were in power they'd get something for the riding. In your dreams, buddy, Harper doesn't listen to anyone. Didn't here Martha's speech unfortunately.

Didn't see it myself but a few reports said Martha's speech sucked. Too long, too illogical but harsh critics have forgotten just how long and how hard she's worked at this. No doubt she'll get better trying to pin those slimey CON men.

Lose 1 out of 4 seats held in the general election and Harper has his majority.

All 4 were Liberal seats . . . last election.
Now they win 3 lose 1 to the Cons and the seat in Quadra is very close . . . and that is a huge liberal victory??
