"A dame good chance of hitting Harper out of the park"

The Harpoville Post reports that Bob Rae has decided to commit to the thankless job of running for leader of the Liberal party. Bob threw his hat, five years of political leadership, his Rhodes Scholar-ship and the weight of Canada's, liberal-minded, side of, Bay Street, into the ring in this race to rule, the once mighty, now slightly less, Liberal party.

The Harpoville Post Reports that Bob joins a party of near a dozen who have now set out on their quest, to seek the brass ring that will send them closer to 24 Sussex Drive. Bob's years of experence, even if they wern't glory ones from 1990 to 1995, as Premier of Ontario, will be curve balls he'll be swinging at for months and months to come. Since the Liberal party has decide to wait till December to make their minds up, near a year since the election that sent their asses to the dugout in the first place. In Ontario Bob Rae was the slugger behind the once implamented Photo Radar. It was loathed by speeders, insurance companies, the auto industry and anyone else who believed it it is the right of car owners to go as fast as need be to get there. This proved the winning ticket for the triumphant Conservative Mike Harris, who was batting zero on the bench till he swore, if elected, he'd make the roads unsafe again and do away with the dreaded 'Photo Radar'.

The Harpoville Post has learned that it's an old Conservative trick to get in the voters good books by finding something they hate then promise, once elected, to do away with it. The dosile voters who think no further than the dump they need to take after their next trip to Mickeyd's fell for it and Mike instantly, after defeating Bob, did away with the biggest cash cow and the only way to insure safety on Ontario's life threating 400 highways.

The Harpoville Post hopes that Ontario's Conservative minded media will give Rae, as well as the other contenders, the chance to compete on a level playing field full of potholes, rain days and irritated fans for a thankless job, that no-one in their right mind would want but, we all need an intelligent man or woman for.
