...Of The Golden Era's Already Setting Sun Is Coming on May 15th?
What am I babbling on about this time, you may be asking.
After all, the Dippers are down 3% overall from last month.
And the BC Liberals are holding despite the corrosive democracy destroying scandals, the bogus Bollywood thingy, and the latest demonstrations that their jobs plan and their fiscal plan are both complete fictions.
Well....
Nevermind all that for the moment and instead just take a guess which demo the fiction writer-in-chief and her BC Liberal Party friends and political uncles still have all locked up...
LowerMainlanders?.....Nope
VanIsleSeccesionists?....Nope
HurtlandersNorth&South?....Nope
Women?......Nope
Men?.....Nope
TheYoung?....Nope
TheNotSoYoung?...Nope
TheNotAtAllSoYoung?....Nope
ThePoor?....Nope
TheMiddle?...Nope
So....
You know the answer already, right?
And while that august group may have lots of the moola it doesn't have a whole lot of the votes.
And besides, their man Jim Shepard has already pulled up stakes and left the scene of the smear for the duration...
****
Look.
The slight sways in the overalls and leader likeages, etc., probably do mean something.
But the fact that the Dippers are leading solidly in every single region of the province and in every significant demo except one, this despite the fact that their leader is barely sniffing 30% on the 'Who's The Best Premier?' board, sure smells like a eclipsicatory wipeout to me.
Now, while I haven't been able to find the data for 2001, I'm pretty sure it's out there somewhere (NVG?)...And I can tell you right now, I would take pretty short odds on the ticket that says that those 2001 polls looked very similar, but in Gordo's favour, at the start of that campaign except , of course, for one thing.
Which is that the individual income demo that likely gave the Ujji and the Dippers a little love back in the day was probably at the other end of the spectrum.
Anyway....
Sorry to not be all overall-based Ron Obvious on this one.
But that's my take (so far).
OK?

Here's a reversal of fortunes from the 2001 election:

Dosanjh calls B.C. election for May 16: Governing NDP faces tough fight; B.C. Liberals, have not been in power in 50 years:
Meissner, Dirk. Daily Bulletin [Kimberley, B.C] 19 Apr 2001:
"The (BC NDP) Government party's popularity has hovered in the 20 per cent range in polls since Premier Ujjal Dosanjh took over.
In contrast, some polls have indicated that the Opposition Liberals enjoy a popularity in the 60 per cent range."
The thing about Ronnie (Obvious that is) is that everything boils down to a sports metaphor...and, as such, it's so much more INTERESTING if the outcome is in doubt!
