1) Perhaps Harper is turning into Pearson ? It's quite easy to see why, immediately post-debate, Harper's lead would shrink a little bit. Yours would too if you were basically doing nothing but responding to attacks from four opponents. 2) Paul Martin thinks there'll be a Liberal government on the 14th. Jeez! And to think a man with this kind of foresight and judgment could have been our leader instead...

There you have it. Now we know why the Grits were seeking advice from the Paul Martin team in advance of the debates: apparently the 2006 on-the-fly promise to ban the use of the notwithstanding clause worked so well, they broke out the cocktail napkins to scribble down a plan to tackle Canada’s potential economic woes. And of what does this miraculous 5-point economic panacea consist? "Convening"...

After two and a half years of dithering, former Prime Minister Paul Martin, and much of his cohort, are back in the saddle again! Mr. Martin and much of his old crew have been helping Dion in his debate preperation, and are taking more and more of a role within the national campaign. Maybe that's why their ads have taken a decidedly negative turn... losing one election just wasn't enough for

Paul Martin thrust himself into the 2008 election yesterday by launching a withering [or was it dithering?] attack on the Conservative government’s handling of the current economic crisis. None of what Martin says is going to make much of a difference or turn the support for Liberals around. In fact, Martin’s appearances seem more [...]
