NDP's campaign stuck in denial

How symbolic it was that the first campaign plane to get delayed this election was the NDP's plane. With the loss of Buzz Hargrove and the CAW, Layton failed to use this as an opportunity to show voters that the NDP is a moderate party and not under control by any union. He also could have attacked the liberals who now have big business and big unions supporting them. But instead of giving voters a reason to vote for NDP, Layton is still in shock and waiting at the alter for Hargrove to return. Most disturbing for the dippers is the new polls which have them under 15% - a far cry from 22% last spring. The NDP campaign is in a nosedive and liberals are eyeing a majority government at their expense.
