Election observations

1. The Conservatives seem to be extremely confident. They have been carpet bombing Ontario with positive feel-good (if a little icky) ads, while their opponents have had to hold their fire. This appears to have driven up their numbers.
   
   
2. Harper and Layton appeared to have had good launches while Dion and Elizabeth May were ineffective. Dion’s English language skills are still a problem. Didn’t really see Duceppe. Catch what Accidental Deliberations had to say about Harper's election call.
   
   
3. The NDP has an effective attack ad directed at the Conservatives up on the web.
