Liberals Doing Politics: Dumb & Dumber

I am amazed how far the fortunes of the Liberals have become desperate in the last few years. Take George Smitherman the media favourite for Mayor of Toronto. He and his experts thinks his joke about calling us "chubby chasers" will help him. This is not Queens Park, the Dalton team can't save you.

Take Rocco Rossi who just deployed a Mafia theme promising to be tough guy and clean up the city. I did not think it was possible to be more insulting to voters but invoking a negative stereotype his team has just proven me wrong.

I did not think it was possible to make the Liberal Green Shift campaign look good but I must give kudos to these two Liberal candidates. They did!

You have even managed to boost the NDP Joe Pantalone numbers. The Nanos Research poll, released on Sunday night, puts Mr. Ford’s level of support at 45.8% among decided voters. Mr. Smitherman holds 21.3%, Joe Pantalone is at 16.8%, Rocco Rossi stands at 9.7% and Sarah Thomson  at 6.4%.

Keep up the good work! By the time October 25, 2010 rolls around the remaining Liberals may be looking to hire a boat themselves for a more friendly shore.

Rob Ford Gains 8 Points: Liberals Losing Toronto

Liberals-NDP lose 8% of leaning, confirmed voters

Residents were asked to identify who they'd vote for, or are leaning towards voting for, among the current candidates for the October 25, 2010 Mayoral election. Among decided or leaning voters, 34% chose Rob Ford (up from 26% in June, 2010) compared to 22% (down from 29%) who picked candidate George Smitherman. Candidates Rocco Rossi (15%, up from 10%), Sarah Thompson (14%, down from 17%) and Joe Pantalone (11%, down from 12%) were trailing and 4% of residents selected someone else. Support for Rob Ford is concentrated in Etobicoke - York (39%) and North York (37%) and is highest among respondents aged 50+ (41%). Support for George Smitherman is concentrated in Toronto - East York (31%).-Rob Ford Lead Grows

Some on the payroll of the left suggest this is a race, the numbers don't add up. Support for left leaning candidates is collapsing. The left accounted for 68%, in June in August 62%.

In honour of spin cycle from the Liberal media and their experts this video is a testament to keep fighting.
