He used to be my editor.  He was a good editor.  He should have stuck to that.

To wit:

As well, an insider familiar with the campaign says that Denley is not doing well on the doorsteps. He has a bad habit of telling people what he thinks rather than asking the voters what they want. That doesn’t leave a good impression. Chiarelli, a political veteran, is outstanding talking to voters.

Apparently Denley was weak on a recent radio appearance, analyzing his own campaign rather than campaigning when he had a chance. According to one insider, Denley must decide really soon if he is a journalist or a politician.

So the riding could go either way, but the impression is that Chiarelli is gaining traction

Unfortunately, Hudak did not take questions from the media. So as he was shaking hands on his way out, I pulled out my tape recorder and asked him if he would guarantee the CS Wind jobs. He just walked past me. Following, I asked him again. And then again.

Though he didn’t answer, he told me to set up an interview with his media liaison behind him.

So I made arrangements, and emailed the next day. But, alas, no interview. Just like in the film.

I know that a lot of reports are suggesting that Fratboy Tim has dropped the anti-“foreigner” garbage because he’s slipping in various polls. It seemed that way to me, too.

But the fact is he he hasn’t, as this and this and this make clear. He and his team of xenophobes are now just trying to do it in a way that you won’t notice.

Either way, all of us know what it for what it is. Like Dan Gardner wrote, this afternoon, ‎”[Hudak] drags up hatreds and waves them for all to see, hoping that ugly emotions will serve his political purposes.”

So, if I was updating this for a new edition, I’d be including a few passages about the shameful politics practiced by Tim Hudak and his party in the Fall of 2011.

For those of you outside Toronto, that’s Rob Ford behind the wheel of the car. He should have had Stephen Harper in the passenger seat.

…but he does it when he hopes no one is looking.  Anyone else experiencing this sort of thing?  Email wkinsella@hotmail.com if so.

This is beyond ironic, and into something beyond irony.  Wow.

Now GritChik has caught Hudak’s bus (hi, Jason!) breaking the law.

Some tough-on-crime campaign, eh?

…which, of course, she shouldn’t.  But it was worth a shot.

“Tim Hudak?  Never heard of him.”
