We know that the Liberal's are fairly disgruntled by Ignatieff's leadership, this seems like a really expensive way to effect a leadership revolt and I'm batsh$t surprised that Ignatieff who is a very smart man is willingly putting his head on the chopping block unless he wants to go.
Hit the nail on the head here, IMO. This is about the Liberal powers hanging Ignatief out to dry so they can use it as an excuse to turf him and "change".

Sure has a lot more sizzle than having him step down mid-term. Harper would eat them alive.

Sadly, it'll cost 8 zeros...
