If you read this story, it certainly looks like it. Another RCMP investigation -- meaning Martin will be off message all day today and maybe longer -- and doom-and-gloom amongst Liberal backroomers.
"There are folks in the backroom of the Liberal party -- and I've heard this from a number of folks now -- that are very, very gloomy," The Globe and Mail's Gloria Galloway told CTV's Mike Duffy Live.
"They are now talking about nothing but Stephen Harper as Prime Minister."
Galloway is no friend of the Conservative Party, so these comments are to be taken lightly. However, I do not recall any such reportage from Campaign 2004. Which may mean the tide really has turned.
But, Tories, CAUTION CAUTION CAUTION. There was a point in the campaign last year when everyone thought Harper would win, remember? Then the wheels fell off. Everyone should just continue doing exactly what they've been doing, and not get overconfident. The media loves to build people up and then tear them down.
