Well, either the Conservative transgressions are not nearly as bad as the Liberal corruption was, or the Liberal party lacks the political acumen to make Canadians care. Martin, Dion and now Ignatieff are all decidedly uninspiring leaders. Harper isn't exactly inspiring himself, but he plays politics better, and the results are what they are because of it.
That being said, I think Harper is making some mistakes early on, and is vulnerable as a result. Is Ignatieff the kind of leader who can force a small opening into something bigger? I doubt it, but we'll see.
