Exactly. I also note that the CPC "didn't want this election" which is why they've been working on it for the past year, run attack ads and designed a budget to buy votes from as diverse a group as possible.
I still think it's a minority though. Early reports from the hustings are that Ignatieff looks good. He's loose and campaigning well. Harper has more of a problem than his apologists might have you believe as well; he had everything a leader could want and barely won a minority against Martin. Then he gets a minority against the worst Liberal leader in history. Basically he's governed by default....which is still governing but not exactly Brian Mulroney/Jean Chrerien crush the opposition territory.
