One thing is for certain... the Liberals, and especially the Conservatives simply must start attacking the NDP. Wacky Jack has been treated pretty nicely because typically the NDP are an eccentric, hard left fringe party whose 10-20 seats are largely inconsequential.

Right now this is not the case. They are actually a factor for reasons which boggle the mind, and have to be addressed. Layton's bogus claims and largely baseless ads have to be countered by something that reminds people that a vote for the NDP is a vote for a depression, not a recession, because the NDP anti-business, socialist, tax and spend happy mentality will kill any investor confidence the conservative (and yes, even the Fiberals) have created in Canada.

Harper and Dion are too busy attacking each other, they are missing the lunatic coming through the middle. The same mis-step that resulted in Stelmach in Alberta, and Dion in the Liberal leadership.
