Given how Liberals always take advice from the National Post, Full Comment has been running a series of advice columns from bloggers this weekend – I’ve given a quick recap below:
Dan Arnold
1. Let Ignatieff be Ignatieff
2. Build up the ground game
3. Rise above the fray
4. Get an economic plan
5. Break out of the Ottawa bubble
Jeff Jedras
1. It’s not just the economy, stupid
2. Stand up for Canada
3. Court women
4. Make government matter
Raphael Alexander
1. Don’t make threats you can’t keep
2. Control the media
3. Let the Conservatives bury themselves
4. Don’t make a scandal out of everything
Kelly McParland
1. Let Kennedy hammer Tories on pork-barrelling in QP
2. Figure out what you’ll do as PM
3. Don’t need to be the opposite of the PM on everything
4. Voters aren’t stupid
5. Quit listening to advisers
Gerry Nicholls
1. Drop the ‘Harper is scary’ routine
2. Get a new ad company
3. Offer a Chretien-esque approach to the economy
4. Coalition was stupid
5. End the group-think
Yeah, some of the advice is more constructive than others, but they all make for interesting reads.
