The thing is the questions are phrased as what a party or leader would do if he gets power. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that every time harper or a conservative answers a question people need them to say "If we are honoured by a mandate then etc etc etc". If he doesn't it's "look out he's power mad" or "overconfident" etc etc etc. No he's answering the question which is phrased from the point of view on what he would do if his party was in power. Can you imagine the outrage if Harper said something along the lines of what Martin said yesterday: "that they were on the rebound and we're going to bounce back all the way to victory". Martin says it and nothing. Martin isn't power mad and desperately wanting to hang onto powere at all but Harper is. Yeesh.
That said, no matter what the polls say I think it's easier to gauge the election by looking at what's happening on the ground. The Liberals haven't left the once assumed "safe liberal ridings" for 10-14 days, let alone try to shore up support in other areas. They are trying desperately to simply hold onto those safe ridings.
