No surprise that she came out swinging against Harper... Call me stupid, but I wouldn't trust him to run the country.

I don't know if she has bolstered Martin more or has polarized the political landscape more. I think it is a huge risk for the Liberals putting her in that position, and liken it to a trade in hockey just before the deadline and to power up things for the playoffs. You never know how they will perform. After the playoffs, bye bye. After an election, if such is the case, she won't be a welcomed Liberal especially calling Martin 'morally and ethically corrupt' and a 'desperate man' last year.
And not to mention how she is going to be torn to shreds in Question Period. I can hear it now,..."Mr Speaker can the minister please tell us how she can fully function in her position when she has stated that her now leader is corrupt and morally bankrupt." Must say, I can't wait.
She is a politic pawn, plain and simple. Watching the CBC and soundbites by everyday Canadians from coast to coast, it doesn't seem people are too thrilled by her flip flop. From those asked, it appears this is just another desperate attempt by Martin to retain power at any cost.
Agreed with you Charlatan concerning Harper, but I'll go one further. I don't trust ANY of the clowns who are at the political precipice of power to run anything anymore complex than a Dickey Dee ice cream bicycle.
