Doyle and Hearn caving?

The National Lampoon is reporting this morning that Norm Doyle and Loyola Hearn are now waivering in their commitment to the Harper cause.

Here's the link to check out the story.

Wait 'til they hear the radio spots.

I can bet though that they won't be as negative as the Connie ones.

When will these guys learn that American style Connie anger just won't play well in Canada? Already the Connies have had to abandon their spoiled child tactics from last week.

Now they are trying radio spots.

Ok.

So they have been pounding their messaging for something like six weeks now and as far as I can tell, every single national pollster is reporting that Harper's personal numbers haven't moved. Ontario is back in the Liberal camp and overall, the numbers are too close to call.

Here's a clue for the game theory dweebs Harper is relying on.

Politics is not game theory or economics.

It isn't Alice in flippin' Wonderland where a word shall mean what I want it to mean.

Winning means winning.

It is not, as the Connie "strategists" seem to think a case of merely making the other guy lose.

The result of goof-ball strategising by game theory dweebs has led to six weeks of utter political paralysis and all for nothing.

This is politics by the guys who brought you Vietnam.

Oh yeah.

Let's base our strategy on the losers.
