I realize this, but I think that has a lot more to do with partisanship. It goes both ways, of course. My dad, for instance, is a CPC member (I'm not) and he is absolutely giddy over the fact that the Liberals are getting crushed. I try to tell him how the Conservatives blew what should have been a cake walk to a majority, but he doesn't seem to care. I really hate partisanship like that. Say what you will about me, but if it took voting for the Liberals to stop the NDP from gaining power, I would do it without hesitation.
Which is why they need a new leader. We've seen what is important to the people in this election, find a charismatic guy that talks a good game and the CPC will get their majority.

Well he is a dork and that is really bad hair....plus those musical "performances" are basically pathetic! Seriously though people are smarter than what you're saying here.
Harper made it clear from day one that it was him against the "coalition". Even before then he had been really pushing to crush the Liberals. I get that this is how politics is, but there are some leaders who still get respect on both sides and gather up the supporters as they flee from their opposition as a result.
