But its like going to the dentist. No on ever wants to go. But we will trudge down and do it.<BR/><BR/>The problem with those polls is they always fail to measure if it will be a ballot box issue.

Highly unlikely.<BR/><BR/>While there are always exceptions if the public feels an election is truly unwarranted and opportunistic, I don't think such circumstances would apply here.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-37293723186024381592007-10-16T13:05:00.000-04:002007-10-16T13:05:00.000-04:00And yet we have a poll that says that the majority...And yet we have a poll that says that the majority of Canadians will blame the opposition (ie the liberals) if we are forced into an election that same majority says they do not want.<BR/><BR/>Which is the principled choice then?Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-58799760089584367792007-10-16T10:22:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:22:00.000-04:00Though I'm obviously a partisan, I think you're ri...Though I'm obviously a partisan, I think you're right on about this one.<BR/><BR/>I was just talking to a co-worker, a former long time Liberal supporter, who's not overly political... even she said that if Dion doesn't take a stand one way or the other, he has no hope of recovering...
