That's true... but only marginally so. Liberal & NDP voters overwhelming favour each other as 2nd choice by pretty much an equal margin. The big difference in terms of second choice between the two is that NDP voters are far more inclined to see the Bloc as a 2nd choice.
That said they should go after Muclair more, particularily in Manitoba, BC, Quebec City, and Ontario. There are NDP-CPC swing ridings there and the Tories aren't in the position where they can afford to not put forth a full effort for those.
