    With all of this "outrage", I've still yet to hear one actual possible response to the situation. Iggy's not going to call an election, because he's chicken. And he's not going to make parliamentary reform a Liberal platform plank, because he knows that would generate absolutely zero traction.

    So people will join Facebook groups, and a handful of them might go out and protest. And at the end of the day, they'll still hate Stephen Harper just the same as they did before.

    This "scandal" will not swing a single vote. Wait until the media has something real to write about, and this will go down the rabbit hole in a heart beat.
