Heh. Funny story, I have a friend who works the night shift as a nurse at Montfort Hospital out here in Ottawa. She was coming home one morning at around 7:30am, and decided to stop off at the store to get a newspaper. There was one person ahead of her at the cash. Now, she's not a very political person, so she didn't realize right away that the person was in fact Jack Layton. She told me that Layton kept smiling at people, introducing himself, shaking their hands, and asking "Did you vote for me?". If you said "Yes", you were suddenly his new best friend. If you said "No", it would be like "Aw, why not?". I had to laugh at that, because that's exactly how I picture Layton walking amongst the masses.
