Stupid Federal Election Tricks

Over at the Shotgun there is a post worth reading. It would seem that the Conservatives, simply not satisfied that they are completely unready for governing this country thought it might be fun if they got explosive former local Rachel Marsden to run as a candidate against Jack Layton in Toronto Danforth. Kevin Libin writes this mind blowing bit of political news:

I was probably one of the 10 non-socialists that did. It's full of CBC journalists, public school teachers, gay and lesbian couples and immigrants who came over 30 years ago but still think they owe Trudeau a favour for it. The Tories wouldn't stand a chance in that riding if Shania Twain was their candidate. But sticking a loose cannon who revels in making obnoxious comments about gays and Muslims, smack dab in the backyard of the Toronto media would not only earn the Conservatives no points in that riding, but would almost certainly ruin their campaign nationally.

So even the Consertives thought twice about this extremly bad idea and they decided against it. Shorter Election Theme of the Day: Charlie Brown meet Lucy. Good Grief.
