As an aside, I have few delusions that the NDP is likely to form the government any time soon but I do believe Jack Layton is a good leader and a good speaker. He is an asset to the NDP and to Canadian politics.

As a fellow NDP supporter, I am split. My first reaction to hearing that he is going to stay on as leader while he fights for his life was "Awesome. The NDP needs his strong leadership and ferocious, infectious attitude." It's that attitude that was missing with Audrey and Alexa. But then I thought of how selfish that was and that maybe Jack would be better off taking some time off to put his health first and foremost. Can you imagine how tiring it would be if there were another election coming in the next year? And with the polls where they are, that might be a probability more than a possibility.
