The Liberals need a woman to go toe to toe with Andrea Horwath. Plus, Kathleen will get the gay vote which normally goes to the NDP.
Kathleen Wynne
- Thread starter Rockslinger
- Start date
Sad state of affairs.
At least she wants to be a fall person.
But seriously, if the Tories want to win this battle - REMOVE HUDAK!
Remove him now. My opinion is that it is a golden opportunity for John Tory to jump back in the game, but seriously, anyone is better than Hudak.
Hudak represents old Torie values, he campaigned on a "McGuinty Light" platform last election...He adds no value for tax payers.
Wake up PC Party!
Bring in someone with a new vision, a new plan for the province. Hudak only offers old garbage. Please leave Hudak. Leave for the sake of the tax payers who live in this province!
Glenn Murray might also throw his hat in the ring. The Liberals are really going after the gay vote.
lol....I think that place is reserved for your Liberals at the moment. At least until the stench blows away.
I wouldn't mind Wynne, she was just following McSquint's early policy of caving to the teacher unions. She seems to have a brain.
Between Wynn, Kenny, Murry and a few others on the liberal left (Oxymoron I know), with maybe one or two viaing for the blue grits I bet is they split that vote and a blue grit takes it.
Also take into account that Justin Trudeau is sucking up alot of the provincial liberals talent like lemmings off a cliff.
Its a race to see who will be the Christy Clark of Ontario.
Right now in polls all the leadership contenders are doing terrible which says it isn't just Dalton they want gone, but the liberal regime.
The Liberals will end up in third place.
I won't say its impossible for Hudak to win, just very unlikely as if it appears he's close the NDP could drive the Liberals into the teens.
Its already to late to get rid of Hudak in time for the next election, thier is no party mechanism to force him out and the effect to put pressure on him to resign would take to much time.

The Dippers are the front runners and I can't see that changing. It's yours to lose omega, but hey your party has spent most of its life doing exactly that so anything is possible 
Actually it's the perfect time for the NDP to get elected, when there is less than no money and with the public reasonably pissed at the teachers - good luck with that. I don't think Horwath would make a very good Harris.

If the NDP gets elected they will finish destroying what is left of the Ontario economy.
A more likely scenario is the Liberals finish third, unless they can quickly find a way to win back all those unions. I'm not sure trust can be rebuilt that quickly (and anything they do try might alienate many other voters).
I think the keys to Horwath's popularity is that she's able to hit both the symbol of change and security.
She clean of Tory and Liberal Scandals and she has her own ideas of where to take the province so she repersents change, but change entails risk, that's where security comes on.
Horwath is Premier Mom, I don't remember the last female leader of any party who wore motherhood so proudly as Horwath does. Most run like men really. Add that to the fact that's protective, nuturing, approachable and down to earth, all motherly traits and that makes people feel safe enough to take a risk on her.
She still needs to boost numbers amoung men, I think seeing her playing Derby as the Steel Town Scaper would help with that.

Never had the burden of governing so never made any mistakes in government. Easy to be a sideline quarterback.
Wynne says she wants to fix the Liberals' relationship with teachers but she won't repeal the wage-freeze legislation.

I'm not sure how that works.

I heard her on CBC this morning and she absolutely refused to answer direct questions regarding the teacher's bill and the gas plant.....just another fast talkin' tap dancer who'll never get my support
