Honestly he needs to hold onto his seat gains in Quebec which means taking the position that everything west of Manitoba is evil and contrary to realthink.

He needs to hold onto his gains in Ontario by catering up to the factory workers and the best way to do that is to go after Alberta.

I think that the NDP are going to realize that people didn't vote for them for their policies, nor did they vote for them for any of their candidates with a few exceptions, they voted for a sick man with a lot of charisma and a cane, and they voted against Ignatieff.

They were a protest vote on a fairly massive scale and it put a party with a loony toons platform and a nonsense driven economic model into the official opposition and then they elected Mulcair who is universally hated by the senior members of the party.

And not to Godwin the thread, but we're seeing the falicy of the strategic vote elsewhere, we've seen NeoNazi zoom bweebies get 20% of the seats in Greece, not because their policies really hit the mark, but it was the stupid vote for the other guy strategy.

The fear is that the Liberal's can't pull their act together (I think they're a couple of elections away from even getting to that point which starts with bouncing Bob Rae) and we're probably going to be looking at at least consecutive Conservative Minority Governents (Not really a fear for me, but whatever).

Mulcair is out of his depth, he's given Harper a nice big juicy video clip to use in the next election, and a ton of ammunition for any debate.
