Martin Admits He Might be Beat

Is Martin admitting defeat or is he trying to appeal to those voters who tremble at night at the thought of a government lead by Stephen Harper?

Martin admits defeat may be possible

VANCOUVER and MARKHAM — Prime Minister Paul Martin acknowledged the prospect of electoral defeat yesterday as he apologized for past Liberal mistakes and urged Canadians to examine the Stephen Harper agenda before voting Conservative.

For the first time in the campaign, Mr. Martin raised the possibility of a Conservative minority government if Canadians fail to catch on to the Liberal platform that stresses improvements to health care and cities and help for low-income seniors.
