This may be true. It is the safe path anyhow, but it does leave room for the Tories to make a move. I think part of the reason that the scandals didn't stick is because of Doer's charisma. Selinger does not have that to carry him.<br /><br />@ Bob ... agree .. it will take some time, but the staff here at Anybody Want A Peanut may not be able to wait 6 months. They are notoriously impatient.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-86185118659435762912009-11-10T08:26:07.612-06:002009-11-10T08:26:07.612-06:00I think the possibility of developing some lastin...I think the possibility of developing some lasting imprint specific to Selinger as a person, different than as a party caretaker will eventually surface and I hope it does.<br /><br />The fastest way to do that would be to set the tone by changing something that was previously decided and your suggestions make sense. <br /><br />However, I do think that he will not be that bold until he consolidates sufficient personal power internally. <br /><br />Give it about six months and if he is not seriously undertaking a move by then I will be disappointed and you can probably put the tick mark beside caretaker rather than leader.unclebobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108804757944657087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-76782814294583813042009-11-09T20:19:04.022-06:002009-11-09T20:19:04.022-06:00He may not need do anything to win the next electi...He may not need do anything to win the next election. But, if he did a few things you mentioned, he would put Hugh in the backseat.<br /><br />As far as being pro-bidness....you can rest assured, the last 6 years of NDP spending lined a few if not all "PC" bidness.<br /><br />I would have to say, without the rampant government spending, there would be almost no construction in the City.<br /><br />Hugh's got a big problem. The scandals are ignored, business got fat and is well fed. Unions are strong and happy with government imposed increases. Majority of public has no taste for change. There is no outrage regardless of Chomiak the WhRA, H1N1.....all is good in the mighty dingy called Manitobah<br /><br />Seems to me, everyone likes the NDP and selinger can only make one mistake on his path to reelection, change Doer's formula.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
