Crap. Bumped Enter.... Results again (along with punchline)...

Posted by Name Withheld By Request (aka BlueKopo) Mar 10 '11, 13:38

Harper:

Secretive - 39%
arrogant - 38%
intelligent - 33%
dishonest - 30%
out of touch - 29%

Layton:

Intelligent - 32%
down to earth - 29%
honest - 28%
compassionate - 27%
open - 27%

(Note: These positive results are typical for a leader with generally positive feelings, but almost an afterthought as a governor.)

Duceppe

Arrogant - 30%
Out of Touch - 24%
Intelligent - 20%
boring - 18%
inefficient - 16%

Ignatieff

Arrogant - 44%
out of touch - 38%
boring - 32%
inefficent - 31%
dishonest - 28%

Here's the punchline.... The man amongst the four here who is widely know only for his intellectual pursuits as a commentator, author and HARVARD PROFESSOR is the only one of the four that Canadians did not call "Intelligent".

He's also regularly criticized for being too aloof and elite for the masses.

He's so cooked after the election. The Liberal party won't stand for it. He polls worse than Stephane Dion.

Responses:

The Liberals are sort of in the same position as the GOP - Harper should be easy pickings but they don't have anyone to do it. - Reagen Mar 10, 13:40 10
- The Liberal decline began long before Ignatieff, Dion or even Martin. It really is starting to appear like a party in its death throes. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:45 7
  - The NDP pretty much represents what I believe in, but I can't vote for a party that seems completely incompetent to me - Guigue Mar 10, 13:47
  - I'd consider maybe possibly voting for that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:47
  - You could have said the same thing about the PC's once upon a time - Reagen Mar 10, 13:47 4
    - I was a PC. I attended their last leadership. I saw it within during the late 90s and early 00s. It died. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 13:52 2
      - Yes, but look at who was running things on both sides of that divide - Reagen Mar 10, 13:55 1
        
        It's also cultural. The insides of the parties do not reflect the old PC party. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 10, 14:04
    - "I love that word re-foooooooooorm!" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:48
- yup. And it's starting to seem like their farm team process is slipshod. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:41
- yup -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:40
He didn't come back for you -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:39
Layton sounds like Carter. Harper sounds like Bush Senior. I can't even think of an equivalent for Ignatieff. Nixon? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:39 4
- Kerry. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:40 3
  - winner winner chicken dinner -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 13:41
  - exactly. -- nm - Beaker Mar 10, 13:40 1
    - And Dion was Kucinich. -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 13:44
