He didn't take any press questions yesterday and is closeted today and, from what I understand, the rest of the week until the debate Thursday, with his staff preparing for the debate. I think he needs to be front and center, answering questions, participating in debates that will be covered by television outlets.

His lead is soft, imo, and him being absent doesn't help. The Thursday debate isn't going to be televised nationally I believe and so the public will only get sound bites the media wants to show.

Canadians want change, the polls make that clear but are undecided whether to move to the NDP under Mulcair or to the Liberals under Trudeau.

It'd be cool to see an NDP-Lib coalition. Still 11 weeks is a very long time. craigmatic Aug 2015 #12
