View from inside a PLQ campaign

This weekend is the advanced polls for the Dec. 8 election. So we are busy with GOTV. Is going well.

The events in Ottawa are certainly helping. Marois tried to spin the Charest-Harper link, trying to associate him with the fiscal update. Nothing came of it.

Charest, on the otherhand, has done what was necessary - has made the call to Quebecers to make sure that they elect a majority government to avoid exactly what Harper has brought upon himself.

So while some (in the English media) have spun Harper's political party funding cuts as a way to undermine the Charest camp (by riling Quebecers against Ottawa), if indeed it was his intent to hurt Charest, it has backfired.

Indeed, Ottawa's comings and goings have taken the media spotlight off of the campaign, which hurts both the PQ and the ADQ, and helps us enormously.

So thanks Steve - your bumbling has done us a huge favour!
