But that doesn't change the fact that he attracts more people than Dion does.<BR/><BR/>The fact that I would prefer a professor to an Imperial Oil accountant and economist isn't really relevant. Most of the electorate doesn't feel the same way.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04037439918279912195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29987981.post-27506415079013367262008-09-14T01:01:00.000-04:002008-09-14T01:01:00.000-04:00beijing york; we need to devise a myth-busting mac...beijing york; <BR/><BR/>we need to devise a myth-busting machine!Deb Protherohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403442452148244237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29987981.post-9300941209943928042008-09-14T01:00:00.000-04:002008-09-14T01:00:00.000-04:00If by charisma, you mean swash-buckling, sweater w...If by charisma, you mean swash-buckling, sweater wearing, overweight misleaders who speak out of both sides of their mouth, count me out! <BR/><BR/>I'll take a genuine, honest man with grace and integrity like Dion any day over Harper.<BR/><BR/>And with a Liberal bench as deep and wide with talent as Dion has, Canadians can count on excellent representation in the next government.

Doesn't matter that it isn't true, it's an on-going myth that Harper is trotting out. What conservatives are good at doing is destroying programs while still building a deficit.Beijing Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579118045254845839noreply@blogger.com
