Harper is doing well to impress the people who might otherwise be on the fence, something I think the in transition Liberals are failing to do.
If I'm the Liberals, I don't want a spring election, unless Harper does something really stupid, because I don't see them gaining ground, especially without leadership until almost Christmas. I think Harper is distancing himself, at least in perception, from Bush, which can't hurt either. He agrees with some of Bush's positions but is in opposition to others. If he maintains that course, people will respect him. If he reverts to mirroring the Shrub on too many major issues, his support will evaporate quickly.
I had no idea Romania was considered a francophone country, either!
