Conservative intellectuals won't give us the next election

There's an interesting analysis in the Post today dealing with former conservative backers of Stephen Harper now moving away from him because he has not shown principle in government.

I am sure some have left him but before we hire a moving truck for Harper let's think a moment. How many conservative intellectuals are there? (That's not a smarmy joke -- my point is political intellectuals of any stripe are rare). And if they don't vote for Harper who are they going to vote for?

The truth is that Harper was right to be pragmatic -- both politically (the centre is where the votes really are) and factually (we needed the stimulus).

I want to win the next election; we need to win the next election (just look at justice issues). But we won't win just because some right wing thinkers are annoyed at Harper.
