I would much rather a race with ideas and debates. The reality is the one of the best 'ideas' candidates in the race is Deborah Coyne (IMO, for whatever that's worth), but she has zero chance of winning. There are also people like Joyce Murray who is very different from the now departed Garneau or Trudeau.

I just find it amusing that Garneau drops and we have a page of CPC supporters saying he should man up and stay in. Why? The writing is on the wall? Basically all he would be doing is attacking Trudeau and get to see those attacks replayed in CPC attack ads in the next election (if they wait that long). The thing that the polls continually bear though is that a Trudeau-led LPC is a solid challenger to the CPC. The next election might be very interesting.
