Well, it's the home stretch. The "Orange Crush" still has a lot of steam. The NDP are destroying in the polls in Quebec, and have even received an open-letter endorsement from two members of the Bloc. Wow.

Some commentary is suggesting that the NDP have gone from the margins to a truly national party with both Quebec support and a new seemingly realistic platform instead of the usual perceived idealism.

I'm still amazed at all this. A current poll shows Con 37% and NDP 33%. The Liberals are tanking and now voters are probably starting to look at the NDP as the true option to stop Harper. The only stumbling block will be those who vote for NDP when supporting the Liberals would have made more sense in certain ridings.

At this point, anything can happen. Anyone who follows polls know that they are an indicator but aren't gospel. Monday is going to be interesting.
