Well, let's be honest, it always is a two horse race - no other party has ever developed enough of a national profile to have a chance to form the government.
For good reasons I might add
Iggy's mistake is the same mistake that Dion made, he sits on his butt waiting for voters to have a change of heart. Thats not reform.
I honestly believed Iggy had way more potential, but so far, his detractors have been right - he's reactive, vague and distant. The sad thing for the opposition is that Harper is electorally vulnerable, however, if no one can seize the initiative, he'll likely squeak out another minority.
As a Conservative supporter I was initially fearful of Iggy when he took power of the Liberals. Thankfully he has been exposed as a lame duck much the same as Dion.
The Liberals need a new leader if they ever hope to become the ruling party again, and the spawn of Trudeau is NOT the answer.
I"m still voting anything but Liberal or Conservative. I will never vote for these parties with anti-choice bigots in their caucus, and even separate caucuses that are specifically related to being anti-choice bigots.
What utter drivel.

Me too, although unlike Dion he wasn't a one-issue (the environment) leader.
If Iggy actually followed his ideals (those he espoused as an academic/intellectual), I think he could easily crush Harper. That's because he is more centrist than Harper, but I think the big guys behind the scenes are scared to let him take the Liberals 'away from their roots', which of course is a joke because the Liberals were almost always the most centrist party in the country.
In person, Iggy is a great speaker and very eloquent, but these days if you can't get your message out just as well on TV, you don't have a chance.
