Danny Williams in the House of Assembly today:
Mr. Speaker, 93 per cent is a lot of confidence. That is the kind of confidence I think people have in this government as a result of our performance so far.
Let’s see what those numbers look like after this month and more of non-stop problems for Williams’ beleaguered administration.
After all, gentle readers, it is polling month and the gang that couldn’t shoot straight can’t even seem to find fairity let alone stick with a consistent line on the Abitibi expropriation mess or agree on a simple policy on closing down Holyrood.
Williams had a nice tan, though, on his first day in the legislature in a while.

I thought the numbers were out to lunch as you keep saying. If we take heed in your comment that the numbers will go down, then I assume that you are using the 93% as a bench mark when the numbers actually do go down.
Well they are out to lunch.
But since Jerome!, the Old Man and the rest of the Gang believe they are real, let's wait and see what the number is.
My contention is fairly simple: if the drop from the previous numbers is significant, then you will see the current problems obviously be felt within the Blue Team get much worse.
Their entire little circus is based on the idea that whatever they do, the public love them unquestioningly. The Old man's political power is based on the myth that he is the heart and soul of the nation.
Well, on the day, people can say "heart thing/ Not so much any more" his mojo starts to go.
Now that is not my benchmark. I did not say I ever accepted the government's goosed by government and produced by government's own pollster numbers.
It is his benchmark.
And that's what makes it deadly.
He set the standard by which he will be judged and at some point, the reality has to emerge.
It won't be good enough for him to say he always expected it to go down, like he expected all along to be stuck with the hundreds of millions in liabilities (who plans - i.e. intends - to get f*cked up by your own blunder?).
If people think the pressure and criticism is bad now, wait until they can't goose the numbers upward any more.
