Again, if the Liberals were halfway credible, he'd REALLY be in trouble here. As it stands, Liberal support is down to just the people who'd vote Liberal if their local candidate was a Toy Poodle with an "L" shaved into its flank.

Ya I am a swing voter, I've voted Conservative, Liberal and Green (sorry NDP fans) before - by and large I didn't mind Conservative governance fiscally, economic action plan aside, but I need a sign from them socially that they are more centrist and will do what's best for everybody instead of trying to force what their grassroots want on the rest of us.
I keep feeling like rather than demonstrating social values that resonate with more than their 1/3 of Canada they are sticking by their extreme outlook and just refusing to talk about it. I don't even know if that's actually right or wrong, I've heard so little from them that I don't know where they stand.
