On Question Period, John Duffy tried to defend the Libs' chances of winning government by mentioning the infamous "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline as evidence of the media's tendency to be overly confident in its perception of election results. In response, Craig Oliver noted that last time he heard that message, it was from Walter Mondale in 1984. And that can't be a precedent the Libs want to see followed this time out.
Meanwhile, one of the underlying themes of the show was discussion about the NDP's gains in the last week as both the Lib and Con votes have stagnated. The message about NDP momentum is out there - we'll now just need to see if it can carry over to election day.
