Give the electorate time to adjust to all the Tory scandals: Gay pride funding, Harper at the G8, wafergate. And then of course the biggy, the projections of deficits as far as the eye can see. <br /><br />I'm not expecting anything dramatic, it is summer after all. But I'll be suprised if the Conservative numbers don't slide a bit.Gordie Canukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11889201338151732092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1794543501422517253.post-60832420893230039012009-07-17T05:45:59.576-07:002009-07-17T05:45:59.576-07:00Look on the bright side of this poll.

They continue to make political news while the opposition has no easy forum to counter them. The fact that there is only a 2 point dificit is actually fairly good news for us. This is a much smaller drop than one would typically expect for an Oppositon party in the summer.<br />The real numbers to worry about will come in mid to late August.Brian G.
