What they have to avoid with Ignatieff is the guy just comes across as arrogant and unlikeable, and they're going to need to work on that with him in the debate.

Well these kinds of comments sound good and all, but the early campaigning suggests something different. Ignatieff is getting good sized crowds out to see him, looks loose and relaxed and even has some dumb jokes to go with that (all of the politicians have dumb jokes....they aren't allowed to have any that are actually funny because they might offend someone). It sounds good to say the he sucks and maybe a rally in Calgary would be lacklustre (there are still a lot of Liberals here though), but its simply not playing out that way at this point.

If yes, cool. If no, why bring down the government? I get the contempt thing, but if its just going to be another Conservative minority, what's the point?

I don't get it. If the Liberals don't bring them down then the CPC can say "we didn't do anything wrong and look the opposition voted in favour." If they bring them down and say that they think that they have gone too far with some of their actions then the argument is "you can't win, so why are you making me mark an "X" for someone else?" What would you advise them to do here?
