With all my attention focused on Vaughn and the other two federal bye-elections this day I totally forgot that not only Michael Ignatieff's balls are on the line today but so are Pauline Marois.
Ms. Marois is, for those of you in the ROC, the leader of the Parti Quebecois and as Chantal Hebert points out in this morning's Toronto Star "Monday's must-watch by-election vote is taking place not in one of the three federal seats at play in Manitoba and Ontario, but rather in the Quebec provincial riding of Kamouraska-Témiscouata. If Parti Québécois Leader Pauline Marois does not do well in a massively francophone riding at a time when the popularity of Premier Jean Charest is at an all-time low, she will be hard-pressed to survive a leadership review set for next spring."
Word is that if the PQ gets smoked tonight Gilles Duceppe's wife will be at the liquor store tomorrow getting boxes in preparation for her old man moving his base from Ottawa to the other National Capital, the one without the NHL team, Quebec City.
Provincially the PQ have a fifteen point lead on the PLQ but in the bye-election, according to Ms. Hebert, it could go either way.
