Liberal Magic Seat Number is 65
The Liberals will not win this election unless one of the problem conservatives removes their duct tape and says something stupid. The entire conservative team has been well disciplined and all the focus has been on Stephen Harper. No Rob Anders or Stockwell Days this time around. The liberals will lose this election and Stephen Harper will become Canada's 22 PM. The liberals will revert to a defensive strategy to try to hand on their seats. Most of the Liberals that will be re-elected will win inspite of the national campaign and will win because of a strong local campaign. In order for the conservatives to attain a majority they need to win 155 seats. The Bloc will probably win 60 seats and the NDP will win 30 seats. That leaves 65 seats that the Liberals must will to hold the Conservatives to under 155 seats.
For every diehard Paul Martin who supported his civil war to remove Chretien and believed he was the best man to succeed Paul Martin- you were dead wrong and now Canada will pay deerly. No Kyoto, No to the New Aboriginal Agreement, No to Lower Taxes for Canadians with lower income, No Standing Up for Human Rights, and a Canadian Foreign Policy Shifting from a World Leader to a follower of the US. I didn't support Martin because I felt he was soft on Quebec nationalism and not tough enough to stand up to the US. Now with falling poll numbers Martin is now trying to act tough but slipped with the anti-Bush commerical that went too far. Even worse is the stormtrooper commercial that claims Harper is going to send soldiers with guns into our cities. Martin's defense was that he was oppossed to Harper's plan to establish smaller military bases throughout the country rather than superbases. I didn't see that message in the commercial.
One of the Liberal parties worse defeats will rid the party of Martin loyalists. It is only then can the Liberal party rebuild and take Canada back from Stephen Harper. (Hopefully in less than 2 years if the Liberals hold him to a minority.)

Too true. Martin is the architect of his own defeat, hoist by his own petard, you might say.
And yet, it's all of Canada who will suffer as a result. Sad.
The Conversion of Stephen Harper:
To change from voting Liberal to voting Conservative on Monday would mean accepting that Stephen Harper had undergone a conversion from the rightwing Saul of Canadian politics, to the middle-of-the-road Paul. Voters asked to believe this conversion need to satisfy themselves that the Harper who stood in front of a gathering of neocons in the USA in 1997 and lauded them as examples to be followed, praised their philosophy, denigrated Maritimers, decried Canada as a welfare state not to be emulated, has, in the course of the past 18 months, suddenly seen the light, and changed.
How credible is this Harper conversion? Well, let the man speak for himself: he said he has become more realistic, but his fundamental beliefs have not changed. Oh, and his comments were really in jest.
If so, how much stock can a voter place today on his program, on his statements that there will not be serious cuts, that he will not introduce legislation to take away rights entrenched by the Supreme Court? What assurance does a voter have that Harper will not turn around in six months time and tell the country: Sorry, folks – I was only joking when I said those things ....
Sorry, Mr Harper, I for one do not believe a leopard can change its spots. Not even a very smart leopard. But I do believe a leopard just might dress up in sheep’s clothing ...

I Like her agrument. I want to hear the story too of when did Stephen Harper decide he wanted to be a moderate Canadian politician and change his sinful ways.
