Cause and effect

David Akin is right to note that there's an obvious connection between the Cons' ad campaign and what looks to be a shift in their favour in the polls. But there's another causal link worth pointing out as well: because the Libs gave the Cons two months worth of advance notice that they were pushing for an election, the Cons were able to put the ads together to improve their starting position if one happens in the near future.

Which looks to make for just one more way in which the Libs' positioning against the other opposition parties is serving only to help Harper - and should serve as a reminder that telegraphing every move isn't any brighter now than it's been for the last five years.
