Of course, appearances count. But Mr. Dion's new more assertive-looking glasses hardly overcome an ivory tower tan and passive demeanor, which create the impression of someone who, like me, was the favourite wedgie target for elementary school bullies.
As one party insider noted hopefully when asked for image advice: "Mr. Dion is a great fly fisher, so maybe we could do more photo-ops in a boat?"
Um, Stockwell Day on a jet ski ring any bells?
A male-friendly image makeover that allows the wimp to thump the warrior will be one tough transformation for this Liberal leader.
So males identify with PM Harper. How about women?
But what's even more sobering for Liberals is that Mr. Harper's negatives are concentrated in young to middle-aged women of lower to middle incomes.
Those approaching retirement or enjoying a $60,000-plus salary tend to side with
Mr. Harper, a split decision that keeps Conservatives in a dead heat with Liberals among women voters nationwide.
Mr. Dion, by unfortunate contrast, suffers an "ubiquitous" thumbs-down from men spanning all ages and earning levels, says Mr. Bricker.
Now, that's interesting, women who are older, wiser and richer support PM Harper. Hey, that's ME!
Don't they always say that nice guys finish last? As a woman I look at the two, and think about which one I would be more likely to date. (I know I'm happily married, but it's how women's minds work.) Remember, first impressions/thoughts are important during a job interview, why not when choosing a Prime Minister?
I also respect PM Harper for being a family man, honest, and strong. What woman would not appreciate those qualities? Right, the feminists who are so insecure about being females, that they feel threatened by any male, unless it's a metrosexual, purse wearing male, those they like, bet they are voting for backpack wearing Dion!
This woman picks the warrior over the wimp!

Like so many things coming from Harper supporters, the facts don't quite add up. Dion and Harper are essentially tied in total support in that same poll, Harper has a whopping 14% lead in male support. So if his female support was roughly the same, I guess that means it is the third sex which really favours Dion. So, exactly what is this third sex?
Unfortunately, the National Post does not have any numbers to back up their statements on women, but I'm sure it sounded good to them and other Harper supporters and the mathematically challenged.
"I guess that means it is the third sex which really favours Dion. So, exactly what is this third sex which favours Dion."
Anony it's GAY!
It's women. More women favour Dion and more men favour Harper and the National Post just didn't show the numbers which would have contradicted their statement.
I went to Ipsos Reid who did the survey, but you need to pay to get the details, so obviously, the National paid to see the results.
Doesn't matter, I still pick the warrior over the wimp, and 50% of women agree with me.
