Lorrie Goldstein May Be A Kook, But

...he's not necessarily wrong about this:

Chow doesn't want Ford out of the race because that helps John Tory: Chow stops short of calling for Ford to resign http://t.co/o6CXaAJfEL

You might make a counter-argument that in places like Scarborough, where there are a lot of new Canadians, Chow and ROFO are fishing in the same pond, and these folks might go Olivia's way if he's out of the race.  But I'll bet someone on her campaign team is looking at polls like this and thinking that with ROFO still in they are facing a devil they know, at a chunk of voters who will not redistribute en masse to John Tory.  But if ROFO goes all the dice get thrown anew.

Either way, by October it may be Rob Ford who winds up splitting the right-wing vote.  Who would have thought that?

Lorrie Goldstein: Things Were Better Long Ago

In which Lorrie Goldstein opines the Good Old Days, and suggests that Stats Can statisticians are the same variety of Commie as Climate Scientists.

Jesus. People were whining about the good old days back in the good old days when I was young.
