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.

Actually, I think the coalition argument has gained some traction. Certainly far more than the Liberal ethics argument. That line will be there throughout, especially when only a small minority trusts Ignatieff's word.
The income splitting promise was a mistake though. Everyone knows politicians are full of empty promises, but Harper didn't even mask that this was empty. All Ignatieff has to do is make some kind of promise for families that takes effect immediately, and he scores points.
