Juggle your potatoes better next time, John Tory!

So John Tory lost in Ontario. Big deal. He made an amazing lot of mistakes, and had he won he'd have known it was due solely to his opponents' sins. The Conservatives might thank John Tory though. He ensured that several lessons are learned by the party and its local affiliates in one go, rather than spreading the learning process over more polls like butter over a Canada-shaped toast.

Tory's gaffes and venturing into hot topics were not helpful. In the rest of the world the Liberal parties are masters in the art of bringing their opponents down. I doubt Canada is an exception. As stated in much more depth on other BloggingTories blogs, one need not hide his opinions. However, the hottest potatoes should be dropped first, and let to cool down. Closer to election time it is time to juggle more everyday concerns.

Keeping with the potato metaphor, if one juggles cooler potatoes one doesn't burn his hands. Other candidates take note.
