Michael Hardner Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Could go Conservative, subject to Stronach not winning. Sorry, Stronach would do better in Ontario than Harper. 1. She lives here. 2. People would respond positively to a fresh face. 3. Ontarians are familliar with MAGNA as a success story. 4. She's socially liberal. 5. She's attractive and youthful looking.

sir_springer Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Sorry, Syrup... Just watched her media launch. No doubt a valuable asset to the new party. But leader??? I don't think so. And I have few doubts that more than a relative handful of members of a new party in need of a leader that can take this fight to Paul Martin are going to see anything close to that capability in Belinda Stronach. I don't think even Ontarians are that naive. And if they are, we...Canadians...are in deeper doodoo than even I imagined possible. Watching and listening to her, it became ever the more crystal clear as to exactly why we need a leader like Stephen Harper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springer: I read that sentence about 5 times. It sounds like you're saying you believe more than a few people will see Stronach as a capable leader. But from the rest of your post, I can see you support Harper. I think Harper has it in the bag, and knows how to make the true believers stand in line so he should/will win the leadership. But look for Harper and Layton to make like a Raptor and "drive for the middle" - if you know what I mean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pellaken Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 5. She's attractive yeay, I'm not weird other people think like I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udawg Posted January 21, 2004 Report Share Posted January 21, 2004 What I don't understand is why she decided to go straight for leadership. I think she would have been better off to run in a southern Ontario riding, win the seat, and get some political experience. Give it a couple years, build her reputation, and once she has the political credentials, go for the leadership. There might be a little more trust at that point. She would have an opportunity to develop her knowledge of politics and the workings of the legislature, without being thrown straight into a high-profile, important leadership position.
