It's not about "like", it's about margins of error and track record. EKOS and Nanos have the track record, far more so than Harris Decima or Strategic Counsel. EKOS has way higher sample sizes this time around, too.

Out of tissues?

Fifth time's a charm, I guess.

This polling is up to Oct 8th and has ridiculous margins of error. I don't think anyone takes Strategic Counsel or Donolo seriously, as much as I have liked some of his numbers in the past.

Honestly, how much clarification do you need on "What would you do if you were PM now"? This is almost as bad as Clinton's, "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is".

TD Canada Trust lowers prime lending rate Friday October 10, 12:31 pm ET TORONTO, Oct. 10 /CNW/ - TD Canada Trust today announced that it has lowered its prime lending rate by 15 basis points to 4.35 per cent, effective, Tuesday, October 14, 2008. This morning the government announced that it will buy $25-billion in insured mortgage pools to address Canadian banks' increased cost of borrowing. "We believe that this initiative will be put into effect in a way that will reduce our overall cost of funds and, as a result we are dropping our rate today. As we've been saying, a number of factors go into decisions about rate changes. Financial markets are very turbulent, and funding costs are still high. However, we anticipate that our cost of funds will decrease with the implementation of this program, and therefore wanted to take action that will benefit our customers directly," said Tim Hockey, President and CEO, TD Canada Trust.

I most certainly do. I'm just not sure why this is relevant.

Understood. But are they qualified to be Prime Minister of a country whose predominant language is something else? This isn't an on-the-job-training sort of position. A PM needs to be able to think on his feet, instill confidence, communicate. Dion can't do any of this, whatever the reason. He would be an embarrassment on the world stage, and you know it.

The third or fourth time? I lost track. And was it a 30-day plan, a 50-day plan or an 80-day plan? And by the way, what is this plan? A plan to have a plan?

I'm suggesting that Dion is a buffoon when it comes to the economy and that he can barely put together coherent sentences on this subject. In other words, sans teleprompter, well, we've seen what can happen...

How so?

Let me guess, teleprompter? Let's hope the power doesn't go out!

Desperate times call for desperate measures, eh?

The problem here is that it was a very simple question hitting at the crux of the ballot issue, and he didn't have an answer. The fact that he was confused or spoke in poor English is secondary if not irrelevant.

http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/Manitoba/2...038881-sun.html Liberal candidate Bob Friesen made a startling admission this week during Manitoba's only televised federal election campaign debate. I was on the media panel for the debate and was surprised to hear Friesen admit his own party's carbon tax plan might not result in households reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.

Actually, I'm not even close to socially conservative yet I can tell a bumbling fumbler when I see one.

Poor Liberals.

Yet the singlemost impressive jobs report in over 30 years.

Not from that I saw. But I guess more to the point is, do you still not understand? Or is this just more baseless rhetoric?

I think this will be my fourth time asking, so if you're anything like Dion perhaps this is the time I can expect an answer. Which attack by Harper? You mean where he criticized Dion's plan to have a plan in 30, 50, 80 or however many days?

Latest Harris Decima poll shows CPC up 2, LPC down 1. Spread is back up to 8 points. And this is before "the interview" and the job numbers. Majority still in the cards?

Actually, Harper explained it quite clearly. Weren't you watching?

I suggest you re-read the quotation. Please explain the attack you are referring to.

Again, I ask, what attack? Harper was questioning Dion's answer, that he as no plan. Not a word about misunderstandinr or language. What attack has Harper made on Dion in connection with Dion's self-inflicted knockout?

Nice deflection. Teflon dobbin!
