Canada 2011 Official Thread

[Lincoln Republican]

Divided support for the Left....*sigh*.

Manna from Heaven for Harper.     

[Lincoln Republican]

Will the fact that Liberal leader Ignatieff spent more than three decades away from Canada come back to haunt him in this campaign?

He was a university professor teaching mostly in Europe and the U.S.

All these polls seem to confirm the Conservatives have an 8 to 10 point lead over the Liberals.

Is this an indication the Conservatives could possibly be in a good position to win a majority?

Thoughts?

[Lincoln Republican]

I can see how a badly divided left would benefit the Conservatives.

Are the Liberals and Bloc getting ready to hit the panic button?

I repeat.

The Liberals and Bloc are probably very concerned about the fact that they're poll numbers are dropping... just as any party would be. It's not really clear from your question what you're getting at.

With the NDP outpacing the Bloc in Quebec and pulling ahead of the Liberals nationally and running second to the Conservatives, I would think that would cause some panic in Bloc and Liberal ranks this late in the game.

This late in the election, what can they really do to reverse this development?  My view is there's really not much they can do.

Of course there's panic. But your original question was whether there was any panic... which seemed like an obvious and silly question... which is why no one responded to it.

Well, thank you so much for pointing this out.  Much appreciated.
