I think it's foolish for them to force an election now. I'd love to know what the Liberals' internal polling is indicating, because the public polls make it look pretty grim. I still think that the NDP will vote with the Conservatives as they're even more poorly positioned for an election right now.

I guess they're looking at their own numbers, which are still way up from last election and pretty solid in key areas (except for the most recent Ekos). But I don't think Canadians have the patience to suffer through another election that results only in small change.
