It is not used up in so far as the Liberals did a very poor job of it of trying to paint Harper as scary and could have done much more with it. Conversely, it is used up in that Harper is now PM. The best the Liberals can do now as paint a "Harper majority as scary". I do not think they have the budget or brains to do so and Harper's being in power means their task is already much more difficult.<BR/><BR/>That said, Harper can be defined if only the Liberals would back socially liberal policies, a la SSM. Given that the Liberal party is likely to do no such thing and is content to sit back and have its lunch fed to them, it is likely that they will not be able to define Harper. The Conservatives will outspend and outmuscle the Liberals for media attention. And, unless the Liberals are able to define Harper as A) a social con or B) beholden to social cons, not only will the Conservatives win the next election they will win a small majority. <BR/><BR/>The environment and the economy where supposedly the Liberal’s strong suits. However, the passage of time and two large surpluses have already made people forget about the Liberal economic record, and Harper has neutralized many of the Liberals environmental avenues of attack and has lunched success counter strikes.Kobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03407275645274060038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-63589800550562464972007-03-20T21:12:00.000-04:002007-03-20T21:12:00.000-04:00Cute and well done.Robert, not in the context of t...Cute and well done.<BR/><BR/>Robert, not in the context of the UK, because gawd knows, I can't figure out Blair, but the concept, a story to tell outside of bullet points, is interesting. I also would say that it is time for a change in how we do ads here and, they tend to lead the way on the other side of the Atlantic.<BR/><BR/>The only thing I'd offer, is don't use known Canadian actors, they'd be painted as shills. That would reduce the impact of the ad and potentially hurt some careers.<BR/><BR/>Jeff, I think there are a ton of narratives here outside of the "Harper scary" one, though I'm not sure it's been over played, just not played with accuracy. The reality of what has happened thus far, take any of the cut's and you have a scenario. Have the tv in the background with old Harper speeches, depicting that current events are only the beginning. I don't know, the list is endless and I would agree, thinking outside the box is what we need to do.<BR/><BR/>Send this to the Liberal creative brain trust would you. Maybe you'll get someone thinking.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291881352139075405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-13002903623735512982007-03-20T20:35:00.000-04:002007-03-20T20:35:00.000-04:00Good concept, but as for the content... malicious ...Good concept, but as for the content... <I>malicious journalists twisting facts</I>...!?
