		<description><![CDATA[The Liberals have been fairly silent again today.  Once again, Harper&#8217;s pushing everyone else to the back pages:

As we pointed out a while ago, income splitting is in the CPC&#8217;s future.  I&#8217;m going to have to get a spouse.
The CPC also wants to dole out money for you to become a baby-maker.  [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=federalelection.wordpress.com&blog=24345&post=46&subd=federalelection&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[hmmmmmm.
It&#8217;s a 3-day rolling poll&#8230;  so this would be the first release to be, I believe, fully after the GST announcment.  And, yet, what do we see?  A drop in CPC support.
I&#8217;m betting there are more than a few people in the Tory camp scratching their heads today.
