To be fair, even though this is just an online poll, isn't this for the Canadians?

Many freepers kindly helped to get a FRhomepage organized on Internet Explorer. It should look organized, now.

Nicely slanted poll!!

Not WILL Dion Win, not DO YOU Support Dion, Not do you support Harper or Dion. Instead they ask if it is outside the possible that Dion will win, nor even naming his opponent. Also this is an Internet poll. Nothing new here -- move along!

Well, I'm a Yank, I voted in the poll and as far as Moore is concerned, I'll consider it a load of manure in his big fat mouth. LOL.

Thank you Freepers - a check of the G&M site shows that indeed the Harper Conservatives shall hold firm against the Dion red tide. Maybe he can open for his namesake in Vegas when his short stint as leader ends here.

They would have a better chance with Celine Dion as their leader.

The poll is still alive. Thanks to fanfan for the ping! I was late to pinging because I was watching the Mighty Broncos strike out last nite(pretty darn cold, too!) :(

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his death by zot is confirmed or his ghost signs up for the list)

Figures - I had three browsers going and there was inevitably a pause when I voted no. Let them have their tie - the real votes this spring will count. The west won't tolerate another French Canadian.
