I wasn't claiming Jack was pioneering something.
The Liberals have 'built' their way out of the dumps, to their accustomed range of support. It remains to be seen that they are building. And there is no basis for assuming the Bloc is on a trend of continuing to lose support... unless of course your frame of reference is that the Liberals will continue to gain in Quebec.
While I think wishes have become expectations about the Liberals, I really don't have a huunch where they are headed... simply that the expectation of coninued growth is just counting chickens.
But when iit comes to the Bloc, my hunch is that they will do no worse than where they are, and are well positioned for the medium term. [And that is not just a rationalization of my wish. The contrary: the Bloc's slide was the NDPs most fertile expansion room.]
