McGuinty Will Stick Around to 2015 If Elected

Also pledges to sit in office, appear in photo ops, maybe pass bills, shake supporters hands, and other tasks that should go without saying.
Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty says he'd serve out his full third term should voters decide to give it to him, which seems like a pretty easy election promise to fulfill. Granted, premiers have a habit of getting shuffled out, either on their own volition or by their party once they've stuck around too long (Ralph Klein, Mike Harris and Gordon Campbell all left office before their terms were up over the past decade). So in some regard, it's nice to know that voters would be getting four more years of Dalton and not just two and change, followed by some Liberal party infighting to determine which guy gets to be a placeholder until the next election, and it sounds like a promise that even he could fulfill, but geez... that he's turned meeting the lowest of requirements in the premier's office into a campaign selling point hardly bodes well for his party. Is he going to trumpet his ability to speak English fluently next?
