Jack's OK... like I've said before, he has been my municipal candidate for years. I seen him speak quite a few times and have met him one on one a few times as well. He does have a certain "slickness" to him but one thing I can say is that he has a lot of good ideas and has brokered more compromises than any other politician I can think of... (you had to see him in action in the Lastman days in Toronto...).
Let me put it this way... if Layton were a Liberal he would likely be the next PM.
You are are right, that he didn't exactly compromise in his offer to Martin. If compromised at all it was in that he didn't ask for *everything* just what he wanted most.
