So Many Liberals Here That Even The Soil Is Red...

...Until tonight. I was kept busy this evening driving carloads of Conservative MP's, staffers and reporters to their hotels as they arrived here in Charlottetown. As one reporter remarked, Stephen Harper is either brave or bold. I believe brilliant would be a better choice of words. Considering that support may be waning in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador, what better place to expand? With no Conservatives elected here since the Mulroney days, it's not like they could lose anything by coming here. If anything, the province could use some exposure to our governing members. Considering that the difference in the popular vote here is about ten percent, it may make a difference. People here might learn that James Moore, Maxime Bernier and John Baird aren't evil knuckledraggers. Not even Jay Hill. I knew that already, but meeting them in person reaffirmed that belief. I hope that by putting their heads together they can deliver the message that they offer a choice for better government. Even if it's one cab driver at a time.

Look at PEI's voting history, now that they have Liberals provincially, they should vote Conservative federally. That's what I told my PEI hubby, he's not sure I'm right, but looking at history, I'm pretty sure I'm right. PEI goes Conservative next election.

Wouldn't be soon enough.

PEI tends to vote as one clan - from everything I've seen, it's like the entire province decides beforehand what party they're going to support, and then every seat swings that way. I can see this happening with the Conservatives in the next election.
