Tory stays in

[Topaz]

The PC's are going to give Tory another chance as leader in Ontario. I don't know who he will have run against in the next provincial election. I think Mcguinty isn't running.

great news!

[Regulus de Leo]

great news!

The Liberals must be overjoyed.

Looks to me like the Red Tories are still in charge in Ontario! The Bill Davis camp is still in control.

This is good news for the Liberals. They are already perceived as "in the centre". It's harder for the Tories to knock them out and grab the centre for themselves.

Once again we have no clear voting alternative. Mike Harris got power after Frank Miller basically because the party was so far down and broke that no one really wanted it. He was the first blue Tory in generations and the fact that he won two huge majorities proved that people today like the Tories best when they act like Tories! If they want a Red Tory they can vote Liberal, or keep voting liberal if that's now their habit.

Those same Tory advisers who spectacularly blew the last provincial election with the religious schools issue can talk about how nobody really wants to vote for a Harris type again but the fact remains, Mike won big time, twice! So far, they've LOST! If they keep trying to be Liberals they're only going to lose again.
