Luntz to Tories: Investigate Libs, Dig up Dirt, Reference Hockey

Republican Pollster Frank Luntz came to Ottawa over the weekend and told his Tory brothers:

I want you to leave here committed to insisting that the Conservative government hold that previous Liberal government accountable, that you do oversight, that you do investigation, that you continue doing it for the next year so that every Canadian knows and will never forget and will never allow another government to steal more from them.

He further advised the Tories to sound "sad" when they were investigating the Libs, because "...if you express regret or sadness about how the Liberals have run the government it's not seen by voters as an attack." After this first year is up, Luntz continued, the Conservatives "...will be blamed for anything wrong that comes to light."

One last bit of advice: "If there is some way to link hockey to what you all do, I would try to do it."

So there you have it, the "pathway to a Majority".

Interestingly, just last week Harper found the time to do a one on one for Sportsnet to discuss his love for the game.
