Results: Give 'Em The Boot Bingo
The NDP posted a bingo game on their site to play during the leaders' debate tonight. The game was entitled "Give 'Em The Boot Bingo." The strategy was psychologically brilliant because the game encouraged listeners to pay more attention to Martin's catch phrases and trite expressions than to what he was actually saying.
Interestingly, Martin seemed to utter fewer catch phrases than usual, which made me wonder if he had a little list to remind him of what he should avoid saying, lest too many people win at giving him the boot. So, I marked off the catch phrases I heard (or those that were very close), but I also ended up keeping track of the very many times he said something else instead. By the way, last I heard, over 38,000 people had downloaded the game prior to the debate.
Here are my results on tonight's Give 'Em The Boot Bingo.

Enough of the posturing, the war of words, the puffery and the fluffery. The ballot box question has been defined.

Great site you have here. The more I learn about our candidates, the less I know who to vote for!

Hey Theresa, I've decided to start blogging again after a year and a bit off. I hope you eventually get your 'groove back' and come back and blog too. Everyone seems to need a break sometime but I'm hoping you'll eventually decide to write some more. Best wishes!
