swing voter

I know one longtime Liberal voter who, if he sees a good platform from the CPC SOON, will change their vote. He does not care about social issues as much as he is looking to send a message and he wants a reasonable fiscal custodian who will discontinue some of the "bullshit." Some promises about getting tougher on crime, a decent tax cut and no crazy talk on healthcare would definitely seal the deal. He's leery of Harper but will take a chance if he sees in the party platform a reasonable set of ideas whose promises would give the leader a roadmap that he can use to set his expectations and get a sense of the limits. If he get's a lot of blather about same sex marriage and Gomery with no specifics on plans for governance until well into the New Year, he'll likey just stay home on election day. More anedotal evidence that on releasing the platform they should move now.
