Toronto Mayor George Smitherman and Quebec Premier Andre Boisclair both had huge leads in the polls at one point...

André Boisclair was an embarassingly bad campaigner, too.
And he was a cocaine-user while he was in Cabinet, which sounds bad in the mind of voters.

Love the litotes there.

Oh, I'm not denying than him being gay probably had a role in his bad result, but I don't see any litote in my comment.

I'm a bit tired so used the wrong word Smiley

I just liked the almost rhetorical understatement (whether intentional or not) of 'sounds bad' in that context.

Well, with Quebec voters, you never know!

To return to the subject, the biggest problem of Wovereit is him being quite to the left, not him being gay.
