Dion Now Getting His Own Make-up Man

[jdobbin]

That's funny, you made no mention of a statistical tie a few weeks ago when the Libeerals were ahead in the Decima Research poll by one point. Your skewed views only give you an inaccurate perception of what is actually going on, and like I said, I hope all Liberal supporters are similarly as arrogant. And after picking a guy who eats his hot dogs with a fork and knife, I'm pretty sure they are.

Actually I did. Go back and read what what I put in the Political Polls threads.

And I've never denied that the Tories are a point or two ahead of the Liberals now. It doesn't change the fact that it is still a statistical tie. Just as it won't matter if the Liberals lead by one or two points over the Tories.

We'll see what the latest reaction to Afghanistan is. It never bodes well politically.

actually, you trumpeted these NEW SHOCKING RESULTS in many threads all with the subject matter of the Liberals now leading. I don't know why you fail to remember your own words. Michael is right about you.

I don't think I ever used the words "shocking new results." You'd have to show me that quote.

I did mention that the Liberals lead by 1 point. This was inaccurate? I also mentioned the other polls where Tories continued to lead. It is all in the archives which are at your fingertips to explore.

Alas, you won't own up to your misprepresentations.

I'm not going to show you that quote since it's not a quote. There are no quotation marks. That means it's not a quote. It's sarcasm, and accurately reflects your ( watch out, more sarcasm coming!) breathless reporting of a Liberal lead which you trumpeted ( not actually trumpeted in case you are tempted to say you don't have a trumpet) in many threads. You never called it a statistical tie, which is what you are now calling a Tory 3 point lead in the strategic council poll.

So, you are hypocritical. You won't call a 1 point Liberal lead a statistical tie but you will a Tory 3 point lead. Again, I hope all Liberal supporters have your ability to underestimate the Tories.

I did call it a statistical tie.

As for your foresight, it proved to be a little blurry when it came to predictions for Republican victory in the U.S. I'd have a hard time believing they are any more accurate about Canada.

Okay, jdobbin, it looks like I was incorrect in saying you never used statistical tie. I am surprised and slightly sheepish. But I still contend that your strong anti Tory bias keeps a part of the whole picture out of your grasp.

He used statistical tie. Primarily when the Conservatives were leading in polls.

His strong anti-Tory bias and his innumeracy.

I don't deny that I'm partisan.

I put all polling data as well as the link in the political polls section. I certainly never sold a 1% lead in the polls as anything other than what it was. The only reason it was significant was that it was the first time that the Liberals had led since before the election. It still only meant in reality that it was a statistical tie.

I also mentioned that if an election were held, the Tories would most likely retain a minority. The Liberal certainly don't have momentum at present to do that. All they are doing in holding their numbers in the low 30s.

No you didn't. I know that because it wasn't the first time the Liberals have lead since the election.

You haven't missed any poll that puts the Conservatives in a bad light.

Why lie?

[jdobbin]

This week is the deadline for the NDP's request for how much the make-up artist costs by my reckoning. We'll see if they are forthcoming on the information request.

I also wonder if Muntean is travelling to the G8 meeting this week.

Can you imagine him not supporting the CPC???? Shocking!!!!!

I like it when you and Sharky put the Liberals in a positive light!

Quit your whining.

I wonder how Dion's remake is going, he still seems like a high school teacher to me. He's so underqualified it's like the Liberal brain trust knew they were going to have to spend some time on the outs and so let a wimp have the leadership for a time. Talk about accomplishing a goal!

It's interesting.

If the Conservatives win a majority next time around. That will be the argument, that it was all one big conspiracy by the Liberals. A conspiracy to set the stage for Gerard Kennedy, or whoever is the next leader.

I don't believe it though. The Liberals believe they have a G*d given right to run the country. Taking a break would be defying the wishes of G*d.

It seems Dion has had a good week. Warm reception in Calgary, story in one of the columns in the Globe and Mail.

Meanwhile, Harper had little to show for last week except some ads that no one is talking about.

I could be wrong, but in looking at the field of the last Liberal leadership race, there really wasn't much in the way of heavy hitters. The movers and shakers new that there was no way the Libs could win anything so stayed away. How else do you explain a result such as Dion?
