Back on track.
I wonder what Layton thinks of all this, on the inside.
Here he was walking step for step alongside Martin, and a couple days away from holding the power of the vote in th Commons that would have made him front and centre.
Instead, the Liberals go on a recruting mission. They try to take some of the gas out of the Conservatives, not so much with the help of the NDP, but by handing off a touchy feely cabinet post to a PC.
The big news now for the vote won't be the help of the NDP like Layton was gearing up for, rather the focus will be on Stronach and what color scarf she wears for Parliment.
The NDP is being used and abused...and soon enough, tossed out of Martin's bed when he gets what he needs from them. I can't say they don't deserve it, but I don't think they thought that they'd start losing the limelight so quickly.
