Earlier in the week the NDP's "Absent liberals" set of YouTube videos, showing a series of abstentions by the Liberal opposition in the House of Commons, was promoted by chief Blogging Tory Stephen Taylor. Similarly, today's top blog post, an accusation that Jack Layton is too cozy with 9-11 conspiracy theorists from top Liberal blogger Jason Cherniak, was echoed on the "Shotgun blog" of the conservative newspaper the Western Standard. Cherniak's defence of the Liberal's platform also came in as the 5th most popular blog post in the last three days.

The 2nd most popular blog post saw Jerad Gallinger post a series of controversial statements from the now invite-only blog of Vancouver East Conservative candidate Ryan Warawa. For more on this controversy, see Susan Ormiston's report .

Blogging Tory Steve Janke (when does this man sleep?), continues to receive plenty of mouse clicks to his blog post on the Liberal's pre-platform conference call. Janke's audio version of the conference call has been the most popular shared audio file in the campaign thus far.

The fourth most popular blog post, a holdover form Tuesday, includes the infamous picture of Elizabeth May speaking at a protest rally. The "A Dime a Dozen Political Blog" accuses May of speaking at an "anti-Israel rally", but the Green leader has strongly refuted that claim. A healthy debate has ensued in response to this blog post, which had, at last count, 60 comments. In addition to a number of comments supporting the accusation, Green party supporters have echoed May's response. "Greenguy", for example, writes: "This was NOT an anti-Israel rally, it was a peace rally and in fact there was a whole contingent of Jewish leaders marching as well."
