The further we get from last night's performance the more difficult it becomes to digest.

Given Gilles Duceppe's virtually uncontested victory in last night's french language debate, there's no clear momentum going into tonight's english-only showdown.

Harper raised, almost exclusively, issues that will hurt him in Québec. Martin was arrogant and hollow. Duceppe was strong, but perhaps unnecessarily confrontational. Layton rose above the fray, but still isn't using all the tools in his <A href="http://canuckistan.joeuser.com/index.asp?AID=171

At the risk of dragging a horse on stage and literally beating it to death -- another word about ads. Of particular interest is a single frame of the most recent Liberal attack ad.

This morning, journalists asking questions about same-sex marriage were heckled by Stephen Harper supporters present at a Brampton, Ontario campaign stop.

I've previously discussed how New Democrats can leverage public distrust of the Earnscliffe Party to bolster their own credibility. In the past two days, however, polls have shown a creeping Conservative advance -- even the possibility of a Conservative minority government.
