David Herle suggested that the Liberals needed a reboot, and I think they've had one.
The 'Rise Up' message is gaining momentum, and may be a great theme going into the final two weeks of the campaign.
Someone reported being at a rally today and when Ignatieff shouted 'Rise Up' everyone immediately stood up.
This is what we need to do. Healthcare is an excellent issue and if all it takes is two words to motivate people, then let's do it.
Rise up for healthcare.
Rise up for democracy.
Rise up for an end to this oppressive regime.
“Rise up! Rise up!” he cried. “Why do we have to put up with this? Rise up! Rise up! … Rise up! This goes beyond partisan politics! This goes beyond the Liberal party! This is about our country! This is about our democracy! Rise up! Rise up!
