And there will be no beating a Horwath government for at least two years because the Tories will be broke and busy relieving Hudak of his head. <br /><br />As for Dougie leading the party, that's among the funniest ideas ever. They can't stand the idea of him as a candidate, so I'm pretty sure they won't give him the leadership. <br /><br />And that's good because he'd drive them right out of existence in about a week. Doug is even dumber and a worse politician than Rob, ad that's saying quite a bit. <br /><br />Given the way the party has worked since I was in high school, the safest bet is that Christine Elliott will be the leader of the third-place Tories.

The law is the law, although I wish Hizzoner would act like it more often.
