It could also be that letting Ford talk was a major strategic mistake.  Perhaps he should have just sat back and done the Herman Cain smile for the duration of the campaign.

Could be but probably not. The NDP share went down not up, so the Liberals are taking votes from them as well as the Tories.

Those would be the ones wanting tax cuts, right?

Ford was certainly not my choice, and I don't want a tax cut. I want capable, competent government, something we haven't seen in Ontario for 15 years. People can say Ford and his people won't bring that but maybe they will, and we know damn well Wynne and her cadre of corrupt, incompetent idiots won't.

I think Ford is a reactionary choice by people fed up with the preaching nanny state identity politics of Wynne and Trudeau. I don't expect great ideas out of Ford. I don't even require them. The premier doesn't run anything. The cabinet do. All he does is provide broad direction - ie, cut spending youse guys. And that's what I want. Ten percent of the population of Ontario are public sector workers. And they make way too much money because of cozy deals with the politicians.
