To put what you've said in a somewhat different light, last June roughly 3 weeks prior to the election date, the newly re-united CPC was plainly - according to both published and internal polls - headed towards a strong minority or slight majority government.
At this point, the Liberals working in tandem with virtually all of Canada's msm went into high gear with a slanderous and strident fear campaign to paint both Harper personally and the Party as "extremists". Rather than continuing with the - till then - successful strategy of hammering away at Liberal corruption and entrenched arrogance, both immediately went almost totally on the defensive and it was subsequently all down hill.
A few months later, the American left and their media buddies threw everything they had into a similar smear campaign against President Bush. However, unlike Harper and the CPC, Bush gave no indication that he cared so much as a rat's hindquarters for what they had to say, simply stayed focused and on message no matter what was said and won - big time!
There's a real lesson here - if Kanuckistan's habitually self-defeating Tories are astute enough to grasp same.

Unfortunately, the Fiberals are expected to do the same thing - if not at an even harsher rate - this time around, as they are even more desperate.
