Why are we still talking about Rocco Rossi?
i don’t think Rob Ford does anything ‘warm’
Be on your best behaviour, Ford campaign team warmed [Globe & Mail]
Apparently the Liberals are worried about Ford. If they hadn’t meddled by having Glen Murray swap his mayoral ambitions for Smitherman’s seat Ford would be facing someone who has actually run a city government. That caucus should be looking at each other and thinking – we did this.
Mark> Same things been running through my head. Political machines meddling in TO politics make messes. The NDP were embarrassingly mean when running (nice) Helen Kennedy against Adam Vaughan 4 years ago.
Someone told me on my Twitter last night that the reason I don’t like Rocco Rossi is because I listen to too much Toronto media. He’s probably right…who could argue against that tunnel, or selling Toronto Hydro, of halving council, or building expensive subways, or, or, or…
Can we start an Adam Vaughan write-in campaign or something? The thought of Ford as mayor makes me physically ill. And none of the rest inspire any confidence either.
