Power and Politics: The War Room (May 5, 2011)

Today on Power and Politics: The War Room:

The NDP war room is still busy post-election. From Deputy Leader Thomas Mulcair's comments questioning the existence of Osama bin Laden photos, to alleged irregularities with nomination papers for that Vegas-visiting MP-elect, there's a lot of backpedalling going on. Is the NDP ready for primetime?

And the Conservatives are dealing with their own party gaffes. A re-elected Tory MP has already talked about scrapping the short-form census... comments he then quickly retracted. Should we expect more of this from all the parties in the days ahead?

Ian Capstick of MediaStyle, Katie Telford of Strategy Corp. and Geoff Norquay of Earnscliffe Strategy are in The War Room.
