good going, reformatories
Sep. 11th, 2008 23:11the campaign has barely started and already we have a pile of gaffes:
- harper threatened to boycott the leaders debate if green party leader elizabeth may was allowed to participate, then flip-flopped after public outrage.
- harper had to apologize for a sophomoric website ad showing a bird pooping on liberal leader stephane dion.
- the conservatives had to admit that a halifax candidate resigned after it was learned she had a criminal record.
- the conservative party had to suspend communications director ryan sparrow over a partisan snipe at a dead soldier's father.
- the conservative campaign violated copyright by not seeking permission to use footage from the TVO network for the fashioning of attack ads (which they would not have gotten).
keep at it. 27% of voters undecided in the latest nanos poll.
