Martin's week started out with having to speak on a shooting in Toronto. Unfortunately, he didn't exactly manage to play that card particularly effectively.
Then, The Income Trust issue became a criminal investigation. While I understand that Martin needs guys like Goodale behind him - solid supporters that have been a positive force in Martin's quest for the leadership, it's not a wise thing at the moment to come out as Goodale's supporter. Martin would look much better if he insisted that Goodale stand aside as Minister for now - at least until the RCMP investigation is complete.
Along with Mike Klander's blog, Martin's going to have a tough slog in January. He needs to come across as decisive - willing to make the tough decisions with his inner circle as well as former Chretien Liberals. The party as a whole needs to focus on the giant question marks that the Conservative Party policy announcements have raised.
A progressive voice shining light into the darkness of regressive politics. Pretty much anything will be fair game, and little will be held sacred.
