Justin Morneau?  Were the voters smoking crack?

That or drinking heavily, their is a definite New York bias with Willie Randolph not winning  manager of the year (losing to a Giradi a guy with a losing record ). Now this, it is pure jealousy against New York teams and its disgusting I hope the Yankees and Mets play in the next  five World Series.\n\nADD: Morneau isnt even the best player on his team, third best is being charitable, and he wins the MVP?? You will never hear of him again.For people that say the Twins wouldnt win without him well they certainly lost with him when Liriano got hurt he was playing and they nosedived. Jeter was like a rock this year when the Yankees went through all those injuries. People are going to say all the NY fans do is whine when things don't go their way, but look at Jeter he is the epitome of what a baseball player should be, on and off the field. No way should he have lost the MVP this year.

The Tories are a bunch of hypocrites, always blaming someone else for their problems.\n\nThe Canadians are well educated people. They should be able to see through the smokescreen of the Tories lies.

I,m an Albertan. \nNo, I think Ralph has had his run and it is time to move on. I did enjoy my Ralphie bucks though. \nAnd this is completely unrelated but GO FLAMES GO!\n\nJust heard today(April 4th)that he is indeed stepping down. I do think it's kind of lame that his party showed so little support.

No, of course not.  Everyone who voted for him proved that they are dumber.  We get what we deserve in politics in this country.

They are acting you know, just like the drunken Harry Carey and the Chicago Cubs, (GET ME ANOTHER BEER). RUSH is so whacked out on OXY CONTIN that they have to haul him into booth on a two wheeler. What a fat slob! Ann Coulteer is man for all you cross-dressing NEO_CON'S for variety, I would guess. Sean Henity is from my home town here in Indianapolis, and he is just mad; because everybody used to beat him up for being gay. Did you know he has been divorced 4 times America, and his children have nothing to do with him. These are your leaders and pillars of society.

Although I am a Liberal I have to admit Harper is a refreshing change.  The Liberals have gotten complacent and just a little to comfortable in their roles.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I don't trust Conservatives and know that they are very sneaky.  However I do feel that they will fight to look really good and in that time they will do some good things for the country.  We just can't leave them in power too long.

There are so many parties here in Canada. We have a Liberal Party and a Conservative Party. Right now that is who is in government. Paul Martin is our Prime Minister and he is a conservative. Explains why he gets along so well with Bush. Jean Chretien, our former Prime Minister, was a Liberal. It really doesn't seem to matter who is in government, they all foul up somehow. Our votes are based largely on the population in the east. If we don't like the way it is going we can try to nullify the ballots by voting the opposite and going for a minority government where they have to work together with another party to head the government. This doesn't always work in our favour, either.

I think it was more of a vote against the Republican President than it was a vote for the Democrat running. But, really, it's not the first time people voted for something without knowing why. \n\nIn Philadelphia, there's a guy who sells soft pretzels on some corner downtown who always runs for mayor. One election, they put "the pretzel guy" at the top of the second column by mistake. He came in second and came close to winning, but I bet few actually knew they even voted for him.

If you are writing about the USA, I am impressed that the voters apparently jerked W's chain.\n\nOf course they elected the douche bag in the first place.\n\nMaybe some sort of meritocracy? What do you suggest?

I would say George Bush, but he's been taken already so I'll come up with something more original...  Todd Bertuzzi on the hockey team, the Vancouver Canuks.  He blindsided Colorado Avalanche Steve Morre in the temple, broke his neck in a few places, gave him a concussion, head laserations as well as minor injuries.  The game was not actually going on at the time, it was inbetween plays, the puck was not even on the ice.  Morre didn't see him coming.  He could've died.  Now here's the kicker... Bertuzzi was only penalized by getting suspended for the remainder of the season, never went to jail, and is PLAYING HOCKEY AGAIN!!!  He played all last season, and he'll be back.  He definately deserves a good booger.  A nice, long, floppy, green one with dirt mixed in, maybe a little blood too, right in the face, stretching from his eye past his bent nose all the way to his mouth.

Even die-hard liberals on Alternet are acknowledging that there were election issues.  I'm not sure 'rigged' is the right word, but it was certainly flawed in terms of voter suppression, poll worker confusion, and machine malfunctions.

I couldn't stop cheering last night! I think he's an awful person, in general, and he surely doesn't represent me or my values, so yes, I was quite happy he lost his job. In addition, I really like Bob Casey. His family is from my hometown, and they really are good people, so I feel like we got a double blessing. We ousted a total jerk, and elected not the lesser of 2 evils, but a really decent man who I think will work hard for us.\n\nI loved how huge the margin of victory was, too! 60%-40%

Prooves nothing-- he goofed and luckily it didn't affect the election.\n\nPeople voted for a change.  Most rationale people realize he was being a dolt and screwed up his speech.

They are already using the "Diebold (maker of the new touch screen machines)won a no bid contract from the government so they are corrupted by the conservatives" excuse. Watch, if they lose it will be because of the machines. It can't possibly be because they really are too stupid to vote correctly.

As frustrating as our Canadian government can be, I can't say that I have heard of anything as absurd as U.S. politics. Actors are always trying their hand at politics. I don't get it! Weird...
