They haven't gone after Mulcair much because they feel that any NDP vote that doesn't like Mulcair will most likely go to the Liberals. They think that they have a much greater chance of getting disenchanted Liberals to vote for the Conservatives.
With the NDP going more to the right (focus on balanced budget, not scraping the F-35s, etc.) and the Liberals announcing policies that tend to be more and more to the abandoned left (deficit financing to stimulate the economy, restoring funding to CBC, etc.), this may change in the near future.
