Despite their poor election results, I still see them as a sleeping giant if they can motivate more people to vote. Not going to happen with Dion, or if they force an election though. They should have waited before pulling this crap.

I agree. That is what the Tories have to do...continue to move to the center so that the Blue Liberals do consider them an alternative again. This is where they need an Stronauch-esque defection from the Liberals into their own ranks. A couple of high profile Blue Liberals joining the Tories ranks splits the liberal party and you likely now have a right of center party and a left of center party (canadian politics center of course). I think Harper played a dangerous personal game in this, I don't deny that, but I think the Liberals are playing a game that is dangerous for the entire party for years to come.
