the stick, the stone and the puddle

i guess the ndp, lead by its fearless leader, did not pay attention to how the political race developed south of the boarder. the eventual winner of the presidential race overcame two campaigns of bashing by the opposition to win the presidency. in each he did start behind in the polls, yet he stuck to his guns, promoted who he was instead of destroyed or attempting to destroy the image/reputation of the opposition. to add to this, his opposition did just that…attempted at destroying his image…and lost. the ndp either didn’t pay attention or just simply did not learn. their only method throughout the campaign was to try and discredit the liberals. my take…don’t worry as the liberals have done it enough by themselves…trying to do more looks like it back-fired. so…perhaps it would have helped if at least half of the resources would have been wasted on promoting what the ndp stood for…what they planned to do…and how they plan to make bc better…somewhat similar to what the liberals choose to do. not to mention…it doesn’t help when the leader of the party trying to take over is seen as a potential premier that can’t do ‘no worst’ than the current one…overall, i don’t think this election was won by the liberals…but lost by the ndp due to a some quite foolish choice in how to promote themselves…
