Pile on the Liberals

Looks like Layton's not going to be joining the Liberals' suicide attack on Harper. He's doing the smart thing and sticking the knife in Martin's back while he's otherwise occupied:

Martin warned Wednesday that Harper’s refusal to support the Liberal initiative to revoke the notwithstanding clause was based on Tory intentions to reopen controversial morality issues such as a woman’s right to choose an abortion and same-sex marriages.

NDP Leader Jack Layton dismissed Martin's statements as scare tactics.

Martin "has nothing left to say to Canadians other than to tell them that unless they vote Liberal, the sun will not rise, spring will not come, and volcanoes will destroy the earth," Layton said while campaigning in Hamilton, Ont.

Good one Jack!

I really think Martin is done. Martin will go down in Canadian history as another Joe Clark. It's almost enough to make you feel sorry for the guy. Almost, but not quite.
