More and more, in the last few days, I'm hearing my friends say the same thing that I've thought for some time: that the real liability for the Liberals is Paul Martin.

This article talks about how the Liberal campaign might have been different if Chrétien were still the leader.

If the Conservatives do win, do you think Martin will resign?

I suspect not. If nothing else, listening to CBC this morning, discussing his very early political life, I doubt he'll give in that quickly. Apparently one of his first political forays was trying to help his father win the Liberal leadership convention in the late 1960's. He was the front runner. He was supposed to be crowned. He was beaten by Pierre Trudeau.

I don't think Martin wants to beat Stephen Harper, so much as he wanted to beat Chretien (and thereby beat Trudeau for his father).
