Election Watch 3: Is it over when the fat man sings?

Ralph Klein, that devious nitwit, has finally said something that doesn’t drive me round the bend!

No, you haven’t fallen through the rabbit hole…bear with me.

He’s predicting another Liberal minority government — two weeks after he offered to campaign for his federal counterparts in the Conservative Party of Canada!

Klein, on a speaking tour, was asked in Halifax on Wednesday whether he expects to see a shift in power in Ottawa after the next federal election, widely expected to launch next week after the Conservatives introduce a no-confidence motion:

“If I were a betting man, I would say there would be another minority. It’s a damn shame.”

“Maybe the Conservatives would make some gains, but unfortunately, I don’t think they’re going to do well in Ontario. Maybe I’m wrong. I hope I’m wrong.”

What do they say about keeping your enemies closer than your friends? Dear, sweet, loopy Ralph…you’re a godsend to politics.

He he he! :-)
