RCMP are conducting a raid on Conservative party headquarters in Ottawa on Tuesday in connection with an investigation into spending on election advertising.

The Mounties, who have a search warrant, say they are assisting Elections Canada.

Conservative party spokesman Ryan Sparrow had no comment as he entered headquarters.

The issue involves party spending during the campaign for the 2006 parliamentary election.

The party gave $1.2 million to local candidates who hadn't reached their spending limits. That money was then returned to the party, which spent it on regional television and radio ads.

2. RCMP are Canada's FBI, but could anyone imagine the FBI ever doing

...this to the Republican National Committee Headquarters or even to any RNC state headquarters?

3. The tide is turning for the Tories. Too bad the Liberals haven't got their shit together.

I'd be pulling the election trigger right about now.

4. Liberals sit completely out of sorts and in dissarray

holding a 15 point lead in the polls.

YAY squared!!!
