hakkaf!....i THINK i understand.....the reason harper doesn't have a tsunami of affection heading his way from canadians is because he doesn't come across as warm and fuzzy.
...the corollary then must be true....canadians of voting age are more interested in a warm and fuzzy candidate to lead this country than a passel of crooks......therefore if the warm and fuzzy component is missing then voters will prefer crooks.

it's SO simple when you minipundits explain it all to the one dimensional electorate....every single one of you jerks is as zero sum morally equivalent amoral as your standing government is...
