Sounds like wishful thinking to me. Have you actually heard Ignatieff speak?
He's very impressive, actually--and has an easy rapport with his audience that makes Harper look like a cold fish. If this election comes down to which leader is more able to connect with his voters, Harper might as well pack it in now.
The thing is, flashy presentation isn't enough, and so far Ignatieff has been a little short on details. Hopefully he does something about that very soon--"wait and see" isn't going to cut it for very long. Harper may be a cold fish, but he is tested, and if there's a ton of mystery about the Liberal platform he might start to seem like the "safe" choice.
