Rob Ford Just Won the Fall Toronto Election

By backing out and taking a leave of absence, Rob Ford has made the best move possible to ensure that he can win the next election.

In fact, I predict (again) that Rob Ford will WIN the next election.  Possibly by a land slide.

Everyone loves the ‘redemption’ story.

Don’t believe me?

George Bush Jr. withdrew from politics to find God and lose addictions.  He came back into the public scene with a vengeance and went on to win two terms as the President of the frickin’ United States!  Bush went on to systematically decimate the middle class of the US, but that’s a whole other story.

A leave of absence from the public scene removes Ford from any liability or attention concerning Toronto City Hall politics.  Anything that goes wrong is not his fault.

In fact, it will be the fault of the ‘left-leaning Socialist cabal’ that’s making life rough for him, all keywords and important dialogue that will be repeated over and over again to appeal to his ‘Duck Dynasty’ loving moronic suburban following.

To top it all off, there’s a high suspicion on my part that Conservative folks like Ford have access to the same data that the Federal Cons have been collecting on Canadians for years (and that we now know has been more intense than we ever would like to imagine).

That means they’ll be running the same memes the Harper government runs time and time again to dodge the perpetual onslaught of inspection that they continue to attract because they don’t know how to actually run governments.

That also means that they’ll start the targeting campaign now, creating a finely tuned message of redemption, victory and persistence.  And ending the ‘Gravy Train’.

Let’s regroup and see if I’m wrong – and I hope I am – after the fall municipal elections.
