*Get ready boys and girls, like Santa Claus, Paul Martin is coming to town later today. It would be excellent if we could see a lot of references to the whole popcorn and beer gaffe that plagued him this weekend. Of course there is already a "Kids not beer" website up.

*Best press release headline thus far in the campaign. "Svend him packing". The new issue of Maclean's isn't impressed with our friend Svend, "Now Robinson is back, once again running for a seat in the House of Commons. And this time it's Canadian voters who should be crying for help."

*Will six ridings in Surrey/Burnaby/New West be the new super battleground that the entire election could all come down to? "...the Liberals can be expected to carpet-bomb B.C. and Greater Vancouver in particular with announcements and campaign stops in a bid to make up for Quebec seats they expect to lose to the Bloc Quebecois" More from Burnaby Politics.

Have you seen the latest Stephen Harper spots, pretending to be a news interview? This patronizing infomercial crap is ridiculous. Do they really think we'll see this and imagine it's really a news program. Just like "special advertising supplements" that attempt to pass themselves off as genuine news articles in the Sun, these are insulting and only serve to make whatever claims they make to seem shady.
Plus that guys lips are way too pink.
