I think Ignatieff's flw when addressing a crowd ad-lib is he tries to tell them what they want to hear, then later on has to correct himself.<br /><br /> It does appear to be a Liberal hereditary problem though.

One of the t...Hi Paul. I really enjoy your blog. <br /><br />One of the things that is being ignored is that Mr. Ignatieff has trouble thinking on his feet. This results in him jumping all over the place making statements that he later has to correct. <br /><br />He just had his 62th birthday.<br /><br />When will the media connect the dots.<br /><br />Realistically if all went well and he does not cut and run after the next election in 2 years, he will be 66-69 in the election that he might have a chance to win.BC Voice of Reasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-76007123032177998962009-05-17T16:39:00.000-07:002009-05-17T16:39:00.000-07:00Prediction: by 2012 if he is not PM, he will leave...Prediction: by 2012 if he is not PM, he will leave Canada with his MP pension.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-72041468982298482972009-05-17T13:24:00.000-07:002009-05-17T13:24:00.000-07:00Thanks Jad, I always enjoy your comments.

I based that sentence on this:
"I...Good point Jad. I based that sentence on this:<br /><br />"In 2004, two Liberal organizers, Ian Davey (son of Senator Keith Davey) and lawyer Daniel Brock, travelled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to convince Ignatieff to run for the Canadian House of Commons, and to consider a possible bid for the Liberal leadership should Paul Martin retire.[34] As a result of the activities of Brock and Davey, assisted by former Liberal candidate Alfred Apps, in January 2005, speculation began in the press that Ignatieff could be a star candidate for the Liberals in the next election, and possibly a candidate to succeed Paul Martin, then the leader of the governing Liberal Party of Canada.<br /><br />After months of rumours and repeated denials, Ignatieff confirmed in November 2005 that he intended to run for a seat in the House of Commons in the winter 2006 election. It was announced that Ignatieff would seek the Liberal nomination in the Toronto riding of Etobicoke—Lakeshore."<br /><br /> I probabl could have worded it better, but I meant that Iggy would have hauled ass back to Harvard if Martin won the election. It wasn't until Iggy realized the Liberals were in trouble through Adscam and Martin might be toast that he decided to run.paulsstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01813949388254801232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-44853252508119377442009-05-17T11:38:00.000-07:002009-05-17T11:38:00.000-07:00Music came on albums?

Now whether he would have stayed in Canada if Martin had won the election ... that's a different story.jadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01291193100262435148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-90470853996148014632009-05-17T09:38:00.000-07:002009-05-17T09:38:00.000-07:00You mean, History's Greatest Monster, Jimmy Carter...You mean, History's Greatest Monster, Jimmy Carter was president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761498836067676504.post-24558419335982281402009-05-17T09:35:00.000-07:002009-05-17T09:35:00.000-07:00Right you are.
