If this coalition takes over and reigns through the bad times and then Harper wins the election as things start to turn around, it's going to look bad on the Liberals even if it is just circumstantial.

This makes sense to me...except that the turn-around might be sooner than you are expecting, so really taking over at the bottom is not a bad thing for which-ever side wins this tug-o-war.

That being said I'm not convinced that this is a great time economically for a government change.
