Shorter Frank Luntz: Never mind governing effectively, the key for the Cons is to keep bashing past Lib administrations.
It'll be interesting to see a couple of the consequences of Harper taking such advice. First, if he does, he'll open himself up all the more to claims that it's Bush's allies that really pull the strings in Harper's administration...which seems likely to turn into a liability which far outweighs any benefits to Harper in continued public anger at a past Lib regime.
Second, Luntz' advice essentially amounts to demanding that Harper resume auditioning for an opposition role. And with the Libs equally entrenched in bashing others rather than proposing solutions, the playing field could open up completely for another party which is willing to act more like a future government.
