In this case, it isn't that dumb, sadly. "Hey Ontario and Quebec! It's all Alberta's fault you are having problems!" sells big time. Just ask the worst Prime Minister Canada ever had.
What I love about the NDP is that they are led by a corpse. Their commercials introducing Mulcair are sad and pathetic because they know damn well that their support rests entirely on Layton, not their ideals. That's why they trotted Olivia Chow out into the commercials and had Mulcair bragging about leading "Jack's team".
The more the country gets to know Mulcair, the less popular he will be, in all likelihood. The problem, however, is that the Liberals are a sunk ship, especially if Bob Rae ends up at the helm. There are enough "Harper is the devil incarnate" zealots on the left to keep the NDP floating.
