She's a mock leader for the party, it's called impression management. <BR/><BR/>The players in the NDP knew their image was tainted with a majority of voters, they brought someone in who could "soften" the image and appeal to a broader section of voters and people, and she's done both. James _is_ a real leader, her public service record speaks to this. <BR/><BR/>However, like most who find themselves inside the beast, she probably found out she wasn't the real leader and had some overlords. It's the behind the scenes muck where the real politics play out and it's why its' stomache-turning to most. <BR/><BR/>It's pretty wild how a party that has no platform yet is managing to move ahead in some polls. That speaks to the immense dislike and growing animosity toward Campbell and his merry bunch of scoundrels and parasites. <BR/><BR/>See more on BC Hydro hikes coming in October.

I like the woman, but she seems more like the kindly aunt whom you could count on for help in a pinch than someone who takes charge and takes you anywhere. And I think people do want that, or someone who will do that for them, so that they can sit back and get on with managing their own lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-37326805999356664302008-09-01T21:23:00.000-07:002008-09-01T21:23:00.000-07:00My sense is that the only thing holding the NDP ba...My sense is that the only thing holding the NDP back from forming government is their leader. If instead of Carole James, they had a stronger, more populist leader like Mike Farnworth or Adrian Dix, I'm sure that they would do well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-77095305652007396042008-09-01T19:08:00.000-07:002008-09-01T19:08:00.000-07:00Sorry about that.
