UNB Saint John Political Scientist Don Desserud says tonight's leaders' debate will be an opportunity for all of the players.
Desserud tells CHSJ News it will give NDP Leader Jack Layton a chance to regain any supports that have jumped shipped to the Liberals in effort to defeat Stephen Harper.
He says the best move for Harper is to allow the three other candidates to dog pile him in order to prove that a majority government is needed.
