You never know, it is possible. Layton has been a good leader for the party and it wouldn't entirely surprise me to see their best result ever with him at the helm... but overall I agree with you, it is always tough sledding for the NDP.
As an aside, very nice to see all the John Chan signs around in Calgary North Central.
