Piling on

These can't be good for the ego...

His numbers could not go any lower if he actually was trying to drive them down. For an NDP leader in Saskatchewan, 17 per cent is close to rock bottom. He could run naked through the streets with twigs in his hair, howling like a coyote, and probably drop down no further than 16.5 per cent.

Why Lingenfelter's stock is so low is no great mystery. At a time of unprecedented provincial optimism, he is campaigning as old Mr. Crankypants, the neighbourhood curmudgeon. He's mean, he's grumpy and he is doing for the NDP what a bedbug infestation does for hotel occupancy.


Ouch!

Regardless of Lingenfelter's low popularity rating, Saskatchewan New Democrats aren't burdened by a record of fiscal mismanagement and corruption.

So, ummmm seriously, has Murray paid ANY attention to the NDP in the last 20 years? This province had the potential to boom 5 decades ago had the natural governing party not held it back with its policies, its nationalizing of industries and its use of Crown Corporations.

Check out any of the usual provincial left wing blogs and what's missing?? Any posts about Duh-wain or what a great leader he is and what a wonderful future we have as him as our premier. Even Fodey and Petersen know he is a dead man walking and carries way too much negative baggage going in to the election. On a side note could someone not write to the Star phoenix or these other papers and demand that these NDP operative posters disclose thier affiliations? I busted someone in Moose Jaw a few federal elections ago posing as a "non-partisan"...he never wrote again.

Mr. Mandryk has once again completely ignored history: Channel Lake, Spudco, etc.
