Shhhhhhhhhhhh!

One week to go and all the Conservatives have to do is keep their foot out of their mouth, according to more good news polling numbers from the Globe.

The Tory strategy for the final week is to stay positive and make no gaffes. "We will continue to be attacked viciously by the Liberals," said a senior Conservative strategist. "Cornered Liberals are dangerous. We want to contrast their desperation and silliness with a competent alternative."

Recognizing their good fortune and need to stay on message for the remainder of the campaign, we should expect a relatively low key approach, and as friend like to tell me, don't get cocky, right? RIGHT?!?

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper is so confident that yesterday he was appealing to voters in Buckingham, Que., to elect some Quebec Tory MPs so they can sit "in my cabinet."

D'oh! Oh well, at least that nugget is contained in a Toronto Star article with more positive poll results. So, just when you thought that would be the day’s gaffe:.

An economist hired by the Tories to evaluate the affordability of the party's platform was not given two significant promises to assess.

Double D'oh! Its mistakes like that which can lead to some people thinking sinister thoughts.

Let's keep it together everyone. People I talk to in my Parry Sound/Muskoka riding will dump Andy Mitchell for Tony Clement because the Conservative campaign has been about something rather than constantly attacking the Liberals, even when they could have.

Keep it together, keep it together, keep it together...
