Lost in Dion's World

Stephane Dion is really in his own world these days. It is really getting quite pathetic.

First Dion blames "Harper's 'low-blow' tactics for poor Liberal poll numbers" when in reality he has no one to blame but himself. His failure to connect to voters is due to his lackluster charisma, inability to clearly communicate, and lack of a compelling vision for Canada that actually connects with average Canadians is what is causing his poor performance.

He is a poor leader who needs to rally his "team" around him in order to appear effective. Too bad that both Ignatieff and Rae are more confident, and more inspiring. It's hard to inspire confidence in your competence to lead the country when your own subordinates outshine you by a factor of 10. It is also hard to get caught up by a "leader" who requires his wife to pick out his clothes for him.

That being said, reality is even farther away from the lackluster Dion then even that headline can convey. Dion actually claims that Canadians are "dying to vote Liberal".

"I think Canadians are dying to vote Liberal," he said.

"It's for us to tell them we have ... a team, with a leader, with an action plan ...for the challenge of today."

That is incredibly far from reality. When even your base is rapidly melting away to other parties I think it is more accurate to say "I think Canadians would rather die then vote Liberal".

Also, notice how Stephane Dion emphasizes his team over his own "leadership".

We're better off with Harper.
