I suspect that political parties that miss the significance of the soft vote are making a big mistake. By soft vote, I mean those voters who, while they may consider themselves of a political leaning, will not necessarily follow a party line. They often vote for the person rather than the party, and can be influenced by negative activity as well as positive.
In the very brief time that the Tories have been running their negative advertisements, I have encountered both Tories and Liberals who are appalled. I suspect that continued use of these ads will result in more liberal votes.

Remember Kim Campbell trying to tell us she hadn’t seen or approved the attack ads the party was running? Be even funnier if Mr Control tries to convince us they were done without his control over every single detail…

A huge mistake. They scream of insecurity and invite us to consider Harper as a leader. He says nothing, rules from the PMO and blames everyone else. Is that a leader?
