[Senator Clay Davis]

While the NDP and Liberals may hate each other, we know they hate Harper more. I suspect if their options are fight each other and Harper wins or band together to give the best option to eliminate Harper, that they'll swallow their pride to make it happen. I do think the Liberal brand is weak right now, but it obviously has more national appeal than the NDP brand, which is essentially stuck with union heavy BC and Quebec.

I also think if the Conservatives win again, it won't be a majority, and how can you justify keeping a leader who lost a majority they likely won't get back again? Other than the conservatives have no one better? So I think barring a miracle majority repeat for Harper, he'll be done as PM either way.
