Utterly, utterly hopeless
From yesterday's National Post:
The riding of Toronto-Danforth is problematic for the Conservatives. The riding association is in disarray; an annual general meeting is being held this weekend to elect a new board of directors.
Yes, please. I suggest this new board's first action should be to put as much distance between it and "regional organizer" Georganne Burke as possible. As Kevin Libin pointed out on the Shotgun, this woman, whoever she is, actually went and asked Rachel Marsden to consider running. Rachel freaking Marsden!
She did so "after a former candidate in the last election suggested she would be a good fit." Rachel Marsden. A good fit. For Toronto Danforth, the spiritual home of the Harper is Scarians. The mind absolutely boggles, as it does when faced with the official explanation that, in the end, Marsden was deemed too "high-profile" for the job. One wonders when "high-profile" became a negative characteristic in a political candidate, but then again one must admit that Stephen Harper embodies that spirit rather nicely.
Rachel Marsden. We are through the looking glass here, people. I wonder who else the Conservatives have up their sleeves?

Maybe they could get some good, honest, ethical people like Belinda and Brison.
