The nail in the coffin II

Ipsos Reid, who has been regularly polling over 8,000 individuals, puts the Tories at 38% and the Liberals at 26% (h/t to Conservative Life.) Apparently, Ipsos pres Darrel Bricker unveiled the poll earlier today with some choice quotes, reprinted here courtesy of Kinsella:

- His first line: "Canada's next Prime Minister will be Stephen Harper."

- "The exoneration of Paul Martin by Gomery was believed in Ottawa by his Liberal strategists. It was not believed by Canadians."

- Bloc vote is slipping to the Tories alone in Quebec. Nowhere else.

- "The campaign has essentially been over for two weeks."

- "Paul Martin's staff have spent too much time watching the West Wing...George W. Bush is not on the ballot in this election."

- "Gomery, guns, gaffes, Goodale" - why the Liberals lost, Darrel says. "They wouldn't be in this position if they hadn't called the Gomery Commission."

- I repeat: "THEY WOULDN'T BE IN THIS POSITION IF THEY HADN'T CALLED THE GOMERY COMMISSION."

That's what I said about two weeks ago.
