Even Liberals are talking about this campaign being over.
Some Liberals are framing the weeks ahead as a case of salvaging what they have currently - 95 seats - and ensuring the election campaign does not end in the devastation seen in 1984, when John Turner's Liberals were reduced to a mere 40 seats.
"Not one, not a single serious Liberal is talking about Stéphane Dion becoming Prime Minister," a long-time Liberal said. "This is not about beating Harper as PM. This is about living for another day."
...Another senior campaign strategist burst out into laughter when asked about whether there had been any thinking as to a transition team.
"It wasn't even in my vocabulary or my brain," said the strategist, suggesting the Liberals are trying to hold what they have.
