Sad thing is people actually did. They fell for Harper's BS, but now things are starting to stink. I think it will be a very interesting election in a couple years. Unfortunately this is so far from the election many might forget about it.
I think a big contributing factor was the weakness of the liberals and the relative strength of the ndp in the last election. The libs shed tons of votes to the left and right and the conservatives were the big winners in the situation.
I think the polls showed that in many of the riddings the conservatives won they didin't increase their votes share that much, it was mostly that the votes that had gone liberal last time were now evenly split with the ndp.
