Two Passes But ByElections are Key

So both the 'confidence-like' votes passed. A key bit in this whole thing, driving the Liberals propensity for approving everything, regardless how they feel about it, are the by-elections that ran today.

Getting Bob into the parliament is a key part of their push forward. They want all the press that buys them, and also to get him some camera time to build his stock so that when they dump Stephane Dion, they will have some viable options.

So, I'm not sure if they will drop the government on the very next opportunity, or string them along a bit longer to give Bob some soak time. What do you think?

I suspect they also want to give the local riding associations time to rebuild their cash a bit after the by-Election. Sure, they can save some cash by re-using their lawn signs.
