Dion the Leprechaun or Leper

Bumped... and Updated...

Turns out it is both.

Toronto Centre and Willowdale were no surprise. Had Bob Rae and Martha Hall Findlay not won those ridings I would be dead now from pure shock.

In Vancouver Quadra, Dion had the luck of the Irish on his side as it was a fairly close race. Which was a bit of a surprise for me at least. I figured this one would be another Liberal landslide. Joyce Murray managed to squeek out a win in this one with approx. 36% of the vote. The lowest percentage of all the winners.
Liberal - Joyce Murray - 10,155 votes - 36.1%
Conservative - Deborah Meredith - 10,004 votes - 35.5%

Desnethé--Missinippi--Churchill River was the one I thought could go to any of the parties. The Conservative, Rob Clarke, managed to pull off the win. He should be thanking Dion big time for this win. I am sure that Dion appointing a candidate for the libs was the death nail.

So Dion, how is that appointing thing working for ya? You are now 0 for 2... Keep up the good work! I'm positive PM Harper would love to see you appoint a whole bunch more before the next election. He would love those extra seats in the house....


The people decide in 4 bi-elections tomorrow...
Dion needs strong showing in March 17 byelections

Let the judgment begin...

Here's hoping the leper makes the day. Not that I would wish leprosy on anybody... however, your analogy is a good one.

I made an "analogy"? And it was a good one ta boot... Yay me! Seriously, It just came to me in a very bad dream... or was it while I read Calgary Grits blog on the topic? OK it was the later of the two...
