I must be spending way too much time out in the sun this summer (when it hasn’t been raining). I just finished reading Michael Den Tandt’s piece, "It’s Time for Dion to Stand up and Fight ", and am deeply troubled.
O.K. The title seems reasonable. A so-called leader can only back down a finite number of times before losing all credibility.
However, this paragraph is what’s bothering me:
As Dion gauges his timing, he’ll be given pause by the Liberals’ continuing financial woes. But he’ll be buoyed by the generally positive press his Green Shift has gotten this summer. He knows that economic slowdowns are ripe with possibility for opposition parties. And, he’ll be sick and tired of being taunted.
I would really appreciate it if my Liberal friends can provide some links to relevant polls and news articles. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
I must try to be more attentive.

Update: So far, all I’ve been able to come up with to substantiate his claim is this – Harper hist a snag. Strangely enough, it’s by the same columnist.
Funny that…
Please check out the comments following this bit of Star propaganda – Bring on fall election, Liberals say. And note the use of the word "hurled" in the Star’s ‘news’ story. (H/T to Alberta Girl).
Reid seems a bit perturbed with Den Tandt too. Glad I’m not the only one.
