Laureen Harper - the Difference Maker?

Sounds a bit Kumbaya to me. I want to vote for soeone because I agree with their policies, not whether they prefer tea or coffee.

Good for you. It only takes 2 or 3 out of 100 women to have Laureen's presence push them off the fence and vote Conservative. Perhaps it won't happen - maybe she won't have a visible presence. But she could. And that's the point.

But she could. And that's the point.

It can alll help, being out there, visible, competent.

Witness one Mila Mulroney.

Apparently, Sophie Gregoire helps children in Ethiopia with clean drinking water, is involved in a charity for women with eating disorders, breast cancer causes, and girls' self esteem issues...

Mrs. Harper likes dogs.

That's a pretty ignorant statement:

She is more comfortable atop her Yamaha XT225 motorcycle or hiking with friends than sitting down with journalists or claiming credit for her charity work with organizations such as the Ottawa Humane Society, Meals on Wheels Calgary, the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, CIBC Run for the Cure or the National Arts Centre (NAC), where she serves as honorary chair.

[On Guard for Thee]

I think worrying about what Harpers wife is up to is just so much nonsense. But that conservatism for you.
