No, I am not in Paul Martin's riding, however, the leader of the party influences who one will vote for. In my case, I respect Paul Martin.
But I fear that his political legacy will be one of tragedy and bad timing. All his life he has strived to become Prime Minister something his father failed to achieve (also due to bad timing). He worked damn hard as finance minister and suffered under Chretien. If it wasn't for Martin, Chretien would have fallen flat on his face years ago. Now, Paul has the big chair and it looks like he is going to loose it thanks to Chretien. I guess Chretien got the last laugh after all.
I have to wonder if Martin looses this election if he will carry on as leader of the liberal party, or will he step down, or will the liberals pull out the long knives once again?

Who said anything about educated voters.
This election is a prime example of that. You have a majority of people jumping on the Conservative band wagon for no other reason than they think the conservatives are now going to win and they want to vote for the winning side.
6 mos. ago, the odds of the Conservatives winning this election were about the same as me going to the moon.
Now everyone wants to punish the liberals for adscam without thinking of the ramifications of voting for a far right party.
