On analogous choices

John Gormley strains to try to invent analogies between football and politics to support the Sask Party's cause. (And I'm half disappointed he didn't have a couple thousand more words to fill, since I'm sure then we'd have been treated to his substance-free musings as to how NDP MLA Sandra Morin is just like 'Riders linebacker Jeremiah Weatherspoon.)

But there's one analogy between the Saskatchewan Roughriders and the political scene that should actually matter to voters. Right now, the 'Riders are suffering on the field in large part because they wrongly believed they could coast on moderate success and holdover personnel, rather than striving to improve on past results. And the province should make sure not to make the same mistake when the Sask Party tells citizens it isn't worth trying to improve on the status quo this fall.
