lol, perfect picture
I've been told by someone in the position to know that there are at least 8 copies of the crack video out there now (with people who've seen it in the dozens). Only 3 of those copies are in hands that are trusted, compelled and/or legally bound not to release it. This person and other people familiar with the path of the now multiplying video believe that a leak online is probably imminent or at least inevitable. Keep your eyes peeled on the site liveleak.com
I don't think that the damage when the video surfaces will be as much about its content but that Ford has lied so persistently -- looked in the eyes of his own supporters and deliberately lied through his teeth. Nobody likes a liar. Noooobody!
Slightly off topic from the "sexier" crack issue, but...
Does anyone know if there has ever been polling done on Ford support at the individual level? I've seen a lot of data at the neighbourhood-level (most of it based on the actual 2010 election results), but I've never seen anything at the individual level. I'd be very interested in knowing the demographic characteristics of Ford supporters themselves, not just the demographic characteristics of the neighbourhoods in which Ford supporters live (important distinction that people often neglect to make).
except Frod Nation who will excuse everything his lordship says or does

I don't think it was clever at all, it was a slap in the face and really bad PR. Why almost a decade later do you think many still call it the "Skydome", or "the Dome"? Had Rogers been respectful of this building, known around the world, it would have been Rogers Skydome, and I for one would have been quite content with that. Calling it Rogers Centre just made me dislike that company even more. I look forward to getting Bell FIBE soon so that I never have to deal with them again.
I don't know. Ford has lied multiple times in the past and far too many people just don't seem to care. Why will they this time?I'm convinced that this is different. Everybody, regardless of ideology or naïvité has a universal reaction to being lied to: they stop trusting the liar. After this, anything Ford says will be second guessed. When Ford's entire house of cards depends on just enough people believing his lies, he's set himself up to being repeatedly caught in those lies and the whole thing falls apart. When somebody challenges his credibility, people pay attention.
The timing isn't good for the release of the video though. City Hall is on summer break so he doesn't have to face the barrage of reporters once the video comes out. He can just stay away on vacation. Anybody advising him would be smart to get him to release the video in a controlled manner right now and announce that Ford is in rehab until the Fall.

I'm not disputing your source but I am curious... If there's so many copies floating around do you know how come it hasn't leaked by now? I do indeed believe the video exists (existed?) but that's the part that has been troubling me for a while. This type of stuff doesn't tend to remain buried this long.
