This is a stretch.
Recent polls are showing the numbers something like this: Liberal 34%, Conservative 34%, NDP 14%, Bloc 10%, Green 8%.
If you haven't been following these numbers, what has happened is the Tories have slipped to parity with the Liberals. It would be difficult for the Tories to get a majority, especially in light of the scandal. This is despite the Liberals' way of handling it. I could live with another Conservative minority. You know, it wasn't so bad; we just need to keep them on a short leash. If only the Liberals would clean up their act, we wouldn't have to worry about it.
