My day 3 impressions.
Oil; Alberta and Saskatchewan are going Conservative after Layton's and Dion's scheme's to hurt our economies, who else can we vote for? NDP Duncan, in Rahim Jaffer's Edmonton riding, is going to pay for Layton's oil sand slam. Sure the university groupies Duncan has surrounding her are cheering, but it's a big riding, many people living there work in the oil patch, and Rahim is very popular. Duncan is living in a lefty world at the UofA. I predict real Edmontonian's are going to show her for the THIRD time, that talking about taking their jobs away isn't a vote getter. Her only hope is getting Liberals to shift (HA) their votes to her.
Diesel; Count on all farmers, truckers, and rural people to vote Conservative. This will resonate with anyone not living in Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver. The econuts are against this, but what do they ever produce but hot air? They do nothing, you never see them in Africa planting crops, all you ever see is the econuts protesting in polar bear suits.
Afghanistan; Count on military members, veterans, and their families to support the Conservatives after this message from the Taliban. The only party that has been standing up for our military has been the Conservatives, with the Liberals, who actually sent us there, dragging behind them. Liberal support of the Tamal Tigers, Hezbollah, and voting down the tough security bill, one of the only times they stood up in Parliament to vote, has seriously harmed their brand.
Dion Re-branded; Please! Are we going to see him hunting moose with Sarah Palin next? It's not going to work, his image is made, just like the Liberals branded Stockwell Day way back when.
Day 3, the most exciting thing that happened was a puffin, oh and don't they hide their excrement? If that's the best that the MSM can do, sorry not buying it. No-one is going to change their vote over puffin pooh.
Maybe I can't get excited about this election because we are not the underdogs anymore. We are not clawing our way out of the 13 year wilderness and hoping to take power. Maybe it's just because I'm sitting here in Conservative country, sure of getting my MP re-elected. What I do know is that it's dangerous to think this race is a done deal. It's not, one little puffin miss-step, like beer and popcorn, could change everything.
I almost wish I could be door knocking in a close riding, just for the excitement of fighting to win. Maybe I will toddle off to Rahim's riding (right next door) to see if they need a door knocker, I love talking to lefty university students, they are like blank slates, they passionately support a cause, then forget to go and vote.

"Duncan is living in a lefty world at the UofA."
Ain't that the truth - of course that's also where resident troll Gayle lives (are you surprised).
Of course Gayle's description of Jaffer's campaigning differs a bit from yours as you can see in this statement from TT's posting a few weeks ago. It sort of gives you a glimpse into the arrogant world of some of the University crowd.
Gayle said on Aug 18:
"Funny thing is I was just thinking about how Jaffer never dares to show his face in my little neck of his riding. Perhaps that is because the area is populated with academics and other highly educated people who would not give his mindless pandering and faulty reasoning the time of day."
Hunter - I think you should knock on doors over there - you might even meet up with Gayle - she'll be the one who's head is spinning and spinning and spinning.
That's too funny Alberta Girl! Spinning heads, HA! Now every time I meet a Liberal, all I will imagine is spinning heads, to match their spinning heads!
