The funny thing is I dont think this has any real effect on the voting public at this point. If this had come out weeks ago and was brought up in the debates or the multiple interviews that followed and Layton came across as less than honest about it all...then yeah it could have made a dent.
As it is though, when news is realeased on Friday nights it rarely registers with people as they go about their busy lives over the weekend. Its an old tactic really. So the timing does give pause as to who would leak it at this point and that they really dont want the spotlight shining on them right now.
