... But here's an ad I'd run this weekend, if I was a Grit and seriously worried I was about to lose big:

I personally think that the NDP needs to start targetting the Conservative Party and their policies more, instead of letting Canadians know why the Liberals are such a bad choice. At least with a Liberal Minority they can get things done. However, with a Conservative Government - they're so far opposite from the NDP that the party will pretty much have no voice in the government - cause there's no way a Conservative government is going to adopt Socialist policy, or really even consider it.

In other words, electing the Conservatives will push the NDP even further into oblivion....

There are four possible outcomes to this election:
- Conservative majority
- Conservative minority
- Liberal minority
- Liberal majority

In a majority, the NDP have no power whatsoever. In a minority, *any* minority, they have some power in that the party in power wants their votes. As Stephen Harper said yesterdayish, he's sure they could find common ground on certain issues, such as corruption and reforming Parliament's patronage system.

if Jack attacks the Liberals, people are less likely to vote Liberal. If Jack attacks the Conservatives, people *might* think "oh god, we better keep them out, and only the Liberals can do that" and they'll head for the Liberals like last time. It's a tricky game he's stuck playing.
