This is no longer a fight for government of a minority or any kind of majority by Dion, its a fight to stay as the opposition.

I disagree with your take on the 30 day pledge (not platform). It is simple and shows that the Liberals are truly concerned about keeping the economy strong. I would agree with you more on the GreenShift, but it is in itself a complex plan, but Harper's attempts at discrediting its premise were pretty futile.
Dion and the Liberals will get stronger in the last days at the expense of the NDP. I see more support going to the Green Party from the Jack's party, not the Liberals.
I also predict that the Conservative platform will have some eerily similar initiatives to the Liberals. At worst they will have some that will mysteriously address their current shortcomings. Still this is their election to lose.
