Are those drums I hear in the distance?

Sometimes it is the sub-headline that is the most interesting. Take this Hill Times piece as an example.

Headline:

Most Tories happy with Harper's 'even keel' leadership and his message discipline


Seems like all is well in Con-ada. but then is smaller font:

Sub-headline:

But some Conservatives say if Stephen Harper doesn't win a majority next time, it's time to go.

""Harper led the Conservative Party in the last two elections and before that led the Alliance Party [in the 2004 election]. After the next election, if we again end up with a minority, I think that should be it. He should leave after that and let someone else take over. I have no doubt that Harper is a smart, intelligent leader but if we don't win a majority next time, he should step aside," said one Conservative delegate, who requested anonymity at the policy convention. "

As much as I despise anonymous Liberal insiders, I love to hear from Conservative ones.

Update: Impolitical covers this as well and has quotes from a further article.Recommend this Post
