To win an election, we need to defeat sitting Tory MPs. A lot of sitting Tory MPs in fact.
So why are we running around the country and making the case that Tories disproportionately deliver for ridings they already hold?
Earth to OLO...
People vote for MPs to bring home the bacon. We may not like this fact. But all politics is local. Always has been.
By pushing this line of attack, we are actively making the case for the re-election of Lee Richardson, Daniel Petit, Mike Allen and every other second rate Tory MP seeking re-election.
Have we really given up on winning Tory MPs and are only interested in holding the reddest of core Liberal ridings?
Have we?

Because this kind of graft grates on Canadians' sense of basic fairness from our government.
And I think that is why, despite some pretty tough weeks for the Liberals, we actually went up a little bit or stayed put in the latest polls instead of down and why Harper did not soar but dipped.
The government of Canada has never spent this amount of money in such a short period on domestic building. The Tories promised brushed aside accountability measures and now we now why.
This stings them hard where they thought they were most impregnable.
Plus, it is simply wrong to abuse taxpayer money like this.
But it is the secondary issue that the Liberals are making out of Tory mismanagement. The first is how badly and slowly they are getting it out the door despite their lies to the contrary.
