Debate BINGO
Since a debate drinking game is just too risky, with a little help from LynninTO, I present your BINGO card for tonight:

A Public Service Announcement
We all enjoy indulging in debate drinking games. I know I usually do. After all, you need to do something while Gilles Duceppe is talking. However this year, I have one request – please do not use the word “coalition” in your drinking game. I know, I know – it seems like an obvious word […]

Yes, it’s hard to call the first full day of the election […]

Wild West Shoot-Out
UPDATED AT BOTTOM I’ll be live blogging the Alberta debate tonight as it unfolds. Until then, we’ve got a real battle of the Reids forming, with Ipsos showing Ed sailing easy and Angus showing Ed in a ton of trouble. Either way, all eyes will be on the debate tonight – if the Alberta Liberals […]
