From Jay Currie:
Moving Hell is taking longer than we thought it would so blogging will stay light. Meanwhile, the polling seems to be firming up for the CPC...or is it?[...]All of which is too bad because in many close, urban, ridings in Canada, CPC candidates will have lots of support from people who are mad at the Liberals but will be missing the votes of people who cannot imagine why the Tories insist on making a big deal out of SSM. Probably the difference between majority and minority status.
Agreed.

I don't know if you followed the debate over on BBG a few days ago, but there are some interesting polls that suggest that bashing away at SSM will win the CPC a lot of votes.
Specifically, consider foreign born Canadians. Traditionally they form a solid Liberal voting block. However, polls show that 65% of foreign born Canadians are against SSM. This, combined with AdScam, might start to fragment this bastion of Liberal support.
Food for thought.
I can see why they think they are doing it, but how much support will they lose from social liberals that would have otherwise voted Conservative? :/
I think its a long-term no-win situation, but I'm far from a political analyst.
