Some Wind in the Left's Sails?

While I still think der Fuhrer will win, likely with a slim majority, I am also seeing encouraging signs of a resurgent left. An Angus Reid poll from the past few days shows the NDP tied with the hapless Liberals at 25%. The bad news of course is that this could simply mean a more comfortable Tory majority, but at least it shows a left that is not completely dead.

Perhaps even more encouraging is the whole vote mob thing. The Tory strategy hinges on low voter turnout, especially among young and disaffected voters. If students show up in much greater numbers than normal, this could radically (pun intended) swing results.
