Surely this was created by some mischief-minded New Democrat or Liberal.

Er, right?

    Imagine Baird’s PM portrait at Parliament Hill. He could be screaming and pointing. It would be beautiful. Perhaps an artist who does work for the WWF could receive the commission.

    This is my favorite. Them there Blogging Tories have had all the fun for the last couple of years.

    Good lord. There goes another night’s sleep.

    Hells. Yeah.

    Wait…they actually have Draft John Baird t-shirts and buttons made up? Wow. These guys are more like the Liberals than we thought.

  • Dave

    John Baird? The Conservative with the world’s worst kept secret? Oh yeah, I’m sure that’d go over great in Calgary.

  • ARX

    I can definitely add a new favourite idle pastime second to imaging possible Coalition Cabinet Ministers, who will replace Harper as Leader of the Conservatives…

  • Jack Mitchell

    What about Gurmant Grewal?

  • Ben Hicks

    My money’s on Zombie Diefenbaker.

  • Andrew (not Potter or Coyne)

    Dave: I’d hope that wouldn’t actually be a problem out there in Alberta.

  • Jack Mitchell

    Michael Chong will run and win. You read it here first.

    I wonder if Belinda Stronach would be interested in the job?

    I can see the Baird sweater ads now.

    Scene:
    Baird sitting in ‘Living room’ set with sweater. WWF match playing on 75 inch plasma TV behind him.

    Fade out:
    The easy listening ACDC music in the background….

    John: I like to go down to the local hockey arena and heckle the referees and 10 year old hockey players until they break down in tears. It’s my way of giving back to Canada and honing my skills for question period.

    Next scene: Baird driving to work in an hummer.

    Hello? Conservative Poll meisters? You got it now?
    John Baird as PM is NOT an option.

  • Change

    It looks like the Draft John Baird people have shut down.
    As a previous blogger said ” John Baird as PM is not an option”
    That may be so, but, if Harper isn’t replaced before the next election
    we will not see any Conservative Prime Ministers for years to come.
    We need a new Conservative leader.
    Harper is an embarrassment !
