This seems to appeal to some Libs whose quest isn't liberalism but reclaiming power. <BR/><BR/>I think Ignatieff probably can win over Harper - and I think Canada will be the worse off regardless.<BR/><BR/>Too bad. My first loyalty is to Canada, the LPC was second. I've never had to choose between them before. That's changed.<BR/><BR/>BTW - Harper wasn't a "strong leader" in the last election. He was an extremely shrewd politician. He timed that election perfectly. It was the end of summer, the Tory scandals had died down as much as they ever would, he was able to make the election all about Dion and his Green Shift which allowed him to run the Libs into the ground and grow his majority without even offering any meaningful platform. That's shrewd, not strong.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-67413828040150745932009-02-27T09:31:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:31:00.000-08:00Ignatieff appeals to the center right.

A "strong leader", as we saw in the last election, does not need a vision (or a platform).<BR/>You only need "strong leader" media buzz to be seen as a viable alternative to Harper.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-47822927659527231832009-02-27T09:10:00.000-08:002009-02-27T09:10:00.000-08:00Ruin a guy's weekend.
