Angry in the Great White North

The Globe and Mail quite helpfully prints the opinions of Liberal Party strategists as a news article, saying that the Conservative openness is going to hurt them:

Paul Martin's handlers believe there is a chance Conservative Leader Stephen Harper will "burn people out" with his daily doses of policy announcements.

"He's their biggest vulnerability and they're jamming him down people's throats every day," a senior strategist says. "It's neck and neck [between the Tories and the Liberals] and woe be he who makes a mistake."

Mr. Martin has been deliberately keeping his "powder dry."

It's a long campaign -- eight weeks, including a break at Christmas -- and the Liberals have decided to pace themselves.

No one is interviewed from the Conservative side to give a different "spin" on the contrast of the two campaigns: that perhaps the Liberals have nothing much left to announce, having announced everything over the last few weeks and months in a desperate attempt to keep the minority government afloat.

Instead we have an article that starts with the Conservative burning people out, and ending with the Conservatives having "no consistent message".

At least no one is talking about a hidden agenda, which is an improvement of sorts.
