That was the response of an anonymous interviewee of the Global News report on the fact that Premier Gordon Campbell's approval rating is, according to Angus Reid, 12%. Win.
That's 12% approve, 76% disapprove, 12% undecided, for a net approval of -64.
Seriously, the numbers are not good. This at a time when members of his caucus are publicly musing about whether he should resign. When the Liberal Party is about to convene. This, along with trailing the NDP by an increased margin of 23%, and it might really be the final nail in his coffin. His prospects are about as rosy as a lump of coals.
Gordon Campbell has been in office since 2001. He's been the Olympic premier. He's won 3 majorities. It's been a successful run...up until the HST. It's a logical time to resign, and he probably will, instead of leading the party through election 2013, which is pretty much already a lost cause.
Unless, of course, he wants either his party, or the electorate, to hand him the pink slip.
Which, I might add, we rather want to.
