It finally happened. I don't really quite understand why they waited this long to unleash the barrage. It's barely 2 weeks from zero hour, and they let the polls go this far down for them...
And the bulk of ads they've relased: a dozen 30 second spots. It's an explosion of activity on the airwaves all attacking Harper now. Some say that negative ads need time to sink in. They need time to really affect people, because the initial intolerance towards them decreases over time. Because, afterall, even if someone doesn't like the tone of an ad or an attack, the idea is still placed in their minds at the end of the day. So waiting this long really makes no sense at all.
This is going to sound strange but I'm almost relieved that it has finally happened. We've all been told that eventually the Liberals would go neg... And that moment would be the real test for Harper. This was a long time coming, and it was like torture just waiting around for it to actually happen.
Now it's out. It's in the open. The Liberals will hopefully seem desperate because of it. Though we all know that their will be those that actually buy into the last minute propaganda. The real question is how well with Harper respond to all of this? How much of an effect will it have? Will the Liberals be able to scare people once again?
For this country's sake I sincerely hope that fear does not win out the day.
