On best cases

One less-reported note from Layton's Town Hall appearance last night (unfortunately there's no full transcript yet): it was certainly a plus to see Layton mention both the possibility that enough votes for the party could lead to an NDP government, and the fact that the NDP is prepared in case that happens.

I'd like to see that concept (accompanied by Layton's proviso that it's Canadian voters who'll make the decision) mentioned a bit more often as the campaign winds down. After all PMPM's "only we can beat the Cons!" hysteria will look all the worse if, as appears to be the case, Canadians are opening up to the prospect of Layton as a PM-in-the-making.
