The Liberals are officially out of friends with microphones, but not friends with combines:

Heard this interview that David Orchard did on the House to plug an upcoming newser on monday in which he will endorse the Liberals. Anthony Germaine gave David quite a bit of flack over the supposed intellectual inconsistency of David Orchard looking at the options and essentially saying: Martin's bad, but he's getting better. Harper is much worse and essentially lying by omission to win the election. It strikes me that the CBC line is that David Orchard is a bitter dead-ender, an analysis that is myopic in the extreme. But hey, when you're suing a party that won't give you back money that's rightfully yours and have taken just as many shots at the Alliance as the Liberals what credibility can you have?

I would posit that if the wronged no longer have any credibility in Canadian Politics that we have truly abandoned any attempt to analyse the facts.

Also here is an interview which is a bit less anti-DO.

Now, I do think that in a parliament that once again come down to a near 50-50 split between federalists and provincialists that having a party like the Progressive Canadians pick up 2 or 3 seats might just be pivotal in keeping the Liberals honest and ensuring the centre holds. But, if I didn't have a PC running in my riding I might be voting Liberal too.

So I'd say that David Orcahrd is right 283 times out of 308. Not bad.
