Harper raises prospect of Prime Minister Dion

RICHMOND, B.C. - Stephen Harper has raised the prospect of "Prime Minister Dion" in an unorthodox but calculated Conservative bid to sharpen the choices faced by voters just a long weekend away from decision day.
In normal times, a campaigning prime minister would never confer the top title onto his chief opponent. But these are not normal times for a Conservative party that has watched its safe, commanding lead in public opinion polls melt away over the last week.
A Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll Thursday showed the campaign firming up into a two-horse race - yet one without broad public enthusiasm for either of the front-runners.
The Tories polled 32 per cent - down from a high of 41 early in the campaign - with the Liberals under Leader Stephane Dion five points back at 27 per cent.
The New Democrats sat at 19 per cent, the Greens at 12 per cent and the Bloc Quebecois at eight.
"There will be one of two outcomes," Harper said Thursday at a news conference before heading east for a crucial, final weekend of campaigning in Ontario and Quebec.
"There will either be Prime Minister Dion, who will tackle our economic problems by increasing spending that we cannot afford and increasing taxes to pay for it. Or our government, which will keep spending under control and keep taxes going down.
"Those are the two choices to deal with the economic problems in front of us."
