I understand the hammering of Ontario because Trudeau is marching around with Wynne who is basically campaigning for the Federal Liberals. At the same time Wynne and her government are incredibly unpopular now in Ontario.

Its also an easy battle for Harper to pick.

Not sure on going after Notley and the NDP government here, I guess the idea is to go after some of the uneasiness felt in this province over what the NDP are doing and what they intend to do.

To me the major battle ground is still going to be Ontario and the battle between the NDP and Conservatives, outside of some fortress ridings, I can really see the majority of seat losses happening to the Liberals if Mulcair has a good campaign.

I can also see some late night angst by undecided voters or Liberal Voters who are more moderate and don't want to see an NDP government.

This is going to be a nasty campaign, I have no doubt that Mulcair and Harper are really going to rip into each other, at the same time there is a personal dislike between Mulcair and Trudeau, and Harper and Trudeau, which should lead to an interesting leaders debate next week.

I think that Trudeau's fortunes hinge on the first debate, if he doesn't have a good performance he's going to fall out of this race in a hurry and the battle will be over voters abandoning the Liberal ship.
