Time to get back to work. So, the election is proceeding apace. The Grits are up, the Tories are down. I wouldn't read much into it. Polls, shmolls. It's still basically a statistical dead heat as we head into the home stretch.
Harper has to refocus. I was not here to witness it, but it was definitely not a good weekend for the Tories. They have to get back in control of the dialogue. They have to start attacking Martin with increased vigor. Martin is brilliant right now: he's been a different man since the English debate. And the new Liberal attack ads, likening Harper to Mike Harris and Brian Mulroney, are going to be effective, I think.
Stephen Harper must come out swinging, and hard. Openly musing about a Conservative majority was a mistake. It turned off the voters who are only voting Tory to punish the Liberals. Harper must get back on his game and remind people why the Liberals deserve the boot. Goodness knows there are plenty of worthy reasons. If he is able to do that, and remind Candians why a change of government is necessary to clean up the swamp in Ottawa, he will succeed.
PS -- Tragic about Phil MIckelson Sunday at the Open. It would have been great to see him take the first two majors of the season.
