After the “Duffy versus Duffy” incident, and John Duffy’s seconding of Scott Reid’s beer and popcorn remarks, my mind wandered back to a post Paul Wells wrote at the start of the campaign:

I don’t know anyone who dislikes John Duffy, although having said that I suspect I’m now going to hear from them. Still, I usually take everything the dapper Torontonian writes as a challenge and diligently pick it apart. That’s harder today, with his excellent piece in the National Post, than it usually is. John gives the best possible case for utter Liberal dominance lo unto the end of days, in what reads suspiciously like the chapter outline for the next, expanded edition of Fights of Our Lives.

Basically his argument is: if you don’t vote Liberal, it will be bad. He writes it all fancy though.

Forty some days later, I’m left with these two thoughts:

1. I suspect there are probably a few people out there who have soured on John Duffy.

2. I’m really really looking forward to the next chapter of Fights of Our Lives.
