I'm not blaming vote-splitting for the result at all, but it was certainly an advantage Harper and the CPC had going for them in this election. Dion was a poor leader who ran a horrible campaign, and there is still some remaining dissatisfaction with the Liberals over the Chretien-era scandals. That's why they lost.
