This is no time to quit
I sense my fellow partisans letting down their guard. Andrew Coyne is going all Hindenburg on us, and Greg Staples says he is "worried no more" and "the only remaining question is how strong will the Conservative mandate be?"
The election is not tomorrow, people. It's more than a week away. You think it's over? Not a chance.
The Liberals are a wounded bear. Harper can't take his eyes off them for a second. The moment the Tories get distracted and triumphal, this goddamn thing could all go pear-shaped. A couple of Tory war-room screw-ups, a couple of loose cannon candidates... shudder. All I'm saying is: focus!
Just because the Liberals have the stench of death does not mean they are actually dead. We can't let up now. Drive the stake in their heart, Stephen. Show Canada some positive issues-based ads, to take advantage of the Liberal confusion over their ad disaster, and a new negative one to fight back: not sponsorship, but honesty. I think you should quote their military ad and their leadership funding ad and refute them, personally, on camera. I think you should call Martin a liar. He is, and everybody knows it.
They won't be dead until January 23, and then only with continued hard work and good luck. Any other party would be at 10% in the polls now. They're still hovering around 30 nationwide, and basically tied with the Tories in Ontario. Tied! After the campaign they've had!?!? Remember: there is a HUGE reservoir of goodwill towards the Liberals out there. We have to poison that well.
Kill! Maim! Disfigure! Don't let up until the final whistle has sounded!
Courage is all well and good, but we need something different. What we need is bloodthirst.
