That being said, I think Harper is making some mistakes early on, and is vulnerable as a result. Is Ignatieff the kind of leader who can force a small opening into something bigger? I doubt it, but we'll see.

Have to agree...the whole boogeyman coalition focus is a waste of time IMO. Though it should last in the minds of voters a little bit because of what happened in 08.

That being said eventually the whole campaign will come down to the economy and spending issues. That's where Harper will either gain his majority or start to lose his hold on the PC faithful.
