Charest's Great Flame-Out?

Jean Charest has never really lived up to the hype that surrounded his early career. If he's really really going to trigger an election over his huge tax cuts (courtesy of Harper's generosity) I think he'll go down. I don't know whether the people of Quebec want tax cuts badly or not, I don't know if he's offering the kinds of tax cuts they want, but I cannot imagine anyone is eager for back-to-back elections. Charest will get blamed over this and he will go down in an early election. Either that or Mario Dumont may get to be premier. One way or the other, I think we are witnessing the last act of Charest's career.
