I think Jack was doing well leading up to the debates with making himself the focal point of the NDP campaign and trying to make people forget about it's socialist leanings. He tried too hard to capitalize on the US financial crisis and started trying to hammer home the Exxon vs the average Canadian schtick ad naseum. IMO this will not reasonate in the minds of the mushy-middle undecideds.

The more and more I read of Dion and the Liberals plans, the more I think the undecided left of centre vote will migrate back to the Liberals once again for fear of a Conservative majority. The Liberal platform is much more balanced and has a real common sense approach. At best is a Liberal majority and a coalition with the NDPs which is really what Jack should be concentrating on. He even alluded to it himself earlier. I hope he puts Canada before his own Leader of the Official Opposition or even PM delusions of grandeur.
