A senior conservative political operative (you know who you are) was providing colour commentary for one of the national networks during this weeks swearing in ceremony at Rideau Hall. During the great hullabaloo over the David Emerson defection this conservative "mastermind" clearly stated that Emerson approached the conservative party to cross the floor.
When asked to clarify he again stated that Emerson approached the conservatives. 2 hours later Prime Minister Harper unequivocly stated that they (the conservatives) approached Emerson.
That has since been supported by the continued media frenzy over the "coup that went bad.". So either the senior strategist, a man who helped to design national policy or the PM are not telling the truth.
The first rule in being.a good leader is making sure all your supporters deliver the same key messages - scrap that - the first rule about being a great leader is setting example so you don't have to rely on the key messages in the first place.
