Tipping Point

I've said, commenting on other blogs, that the Liberal ads are the tipping point of this election. A couple of days after saying that, I believe that even more strongly. Conservative numbers are just going up, Liberal gaffes are growing, Stephen Harper is looking even more tanned-rested-and-ready, and Paul Martin is acting like he's stopped drinking his 12-15 cups-per-day of java and is now simply mainlining it.

Don't get me wrong: The Conservatives make mistakes, sure. But look at what's going on: Peter Mansbridge holds the Prime Minister's feet to the fire. The Aspers come out for the Conservatives. Duffy v. Duffy. Strategic voting - for the NDP (see next). So much more. I don't know if it's been so much a tipping point as a Harperlanche . . .
