It has begun!

Finally, the Conservatives frame Ignatieff. It took them long enough; Iggy did warn that he'd be quick to pounce if they started running attack ads when they ought to be worrying about the economy. But now the talk of a summer or fall election (what, again?) has probably got them worried, especially when the polls are unfavourable.

I have a feeling that there will be retaliation and escalation; if the mid-year election is really going to happen, then the campaign effectively began tonight.
