Justin Trudeau would run on name recognition, but he is having struggles holding onto his seat. He comes across as arrogant especially after the Maclean article where he brags obout his lavish and hugely expensive wedding. Trudeau's name recognition will kill him east of Ontario as well.
If the Liberals want to see their fortunes change, they wouldn't elect (that is assuming, they still elect their own leaders) either one of those guys. The time to turn to elitists has come and gone. Get a guy that is down to earth, is interested in appealing to all of Canada and has the guts to stand up for himself when the Conservatives attack him. For over a year we saw anti-Liberal ads being run by the Conservatives and what did Ignatieff do? Absolutely nothing. Just stood there and took it. The man is a joke.
