Mind you, compared to the charisma vacuum that is Stephen Harper, Ignatieff is practically the homecoming queen.

I don't really buy that, and its why I probably wouldn't switch votes.
For a well travelled Harvard intellect, he hasn't shown that he's got any concept when it comes to strategy, he's continually missed the mark, he hasn't come up with anything anywhere close to resonating platform wise or even in his debates in the house. He comes across as out of touch, he hasn't established control over his party.
He hasn't really done much to seperate himself from Stephane Dion except that his production values are a bit better.
I'm honestly not even sure that he could handle Harper in a debate style setting because he hasn't shown anything yet. I'm not sure that he could handle Harper in terms of election strategy and thats saying a lot.
The problem with Canadian politics is we don't have leaders, we have fricken beaurocrats, they don't inspire, they don't seperate from the pack, the election is almost like the futurama episode when the two presidential candidates were quotes for each other.
I've seen nothing that would make me want to change my vote.
