In Markham for the 2009 PC leadership convention (aka announcement)

I’m here in Markham for the leadership convention for the next leader of the PC Party of Ontario.  It’s been a fairly nasty race with some bad blood between a few candidates.  Ontario PC conventions have been dramatic in recent years as former leader John Tory defended his job against a Dump Tory campaign and now there’s a looming police investigation over some dirty tricks conducted by one of the campaigns (or an outside agent) against the GOTV efforts of at least one candidate.

I’m off to go and find something interesting to report back here, but in the meantime check out what Calgary Grit describes as the worst campaign song in Canadian political history.  Often, supporters come out with music for political campaigns, and this particular video is a bit different.  It’s by a young BC based artist and was sponsored by someone on behalf of the Klees campaign.  Here it is.

Now that you’ve listened to the magic, I spent five minutes making it more interesting (I thought the rhythm sounded familiar).  We’ve seen Hudak vs. Klees and Klees vs. Hudak.  Here’s Klees vs. Moby – the remix:

Yikes, I wouldn’t even be able to DJ a weddingbar mitzvah… funeral! Anyway, let’s hope I find something more interesting to report here soon.  Maybe I’ll bump into Perez Hudak?

Harper has a campaign song

and it’s going to go viral… (listen here)

First, Stephen Harper gets surprised by Geri Hall from 22 minutes as the “single female voter” and now this.

I just received an email from Mashline.com promoting a song they put together called “I’ve got a crush on Harper” by “Mashline Girl”.

It’s in the same vein as Obama Girl’s “I’ve got a crush on Obama“.

Only the audio is available now, but they’ve promised a video.

Click here to listen to “I’ve got a crush on Harper”.

Sorta creepy if you ask me… but some people will enjoy this I’m sure.
