Did a momentary blip cost Harper a majority?
Interesting article...
OTTAWA - Almost every moment of this campaign, Stephen Harper was the congenial, sweater-vested uncle who spoke constantly about his family and projected an unwaveringly sunny disposition.
It was the moment he strayed from the script that might have cost him a Conservative majority government.
In that brief instant Harper dropped the gloves, tossed aside the metaphorical sweater-vest, and took a swipe at artists as rich elites who were somehow unlike normal Canadians.
It's hard to gauge the precise impact of those words but they coincided with a Conservative slide in the polls in Quebec, the province that was supposed to serve as the building block toward a majority.

Honestly, after being trounced nobody really gives a shit. We need to start thinking about party renewal, and the first step is DUMP DION!!
Oh, and a note to all those voted for Dion at the last convention - stay home, and let the smart folks within the party make the choice this time.
