Er, What Ignatieff Meant to Say
Brison called it.
Ignatieff is an "error prone amateur".
While Ignatieff may feel, or may actually be, two-feet smarter than everyone else in the campaign (except for Dion), he's learning that book-smarts only take you so far in the bizzaro world of party politics. Time and time again, Ignatieff creates problems for himself by wandering off message with throw away comments that land him in trouble.
In a campaign team as slick and experienced as the one Iggy has assembled, this must be a cause for grave concern as the campaign reaches its final act.
And of course, when Ignatieff said "it depends on who's the leader" if he'll run again, he meant that "Let's be clear: I am planning to run in the next election in Etobicoke-Lakeshore. I love being an MP and I've enjoyed it enormously and I'm looking forward to doing it again."
Anyone else having disturbing Paul Martin flashbacks with Iggy's campaign? Is the Board on board?

Scott Brison is is the king of gaffes - he doesn't make little ones - he makes great big ones - reminder: income trust email.
Uh huh...
Refreshing to have a candidate that is not a "career politician" polished in rhetoric and lies.
There is nothing refreshing about a candidate that embarasses the Liberal Party by setting terms as to when and if he will be a team player.
Ignatieff is an political amateur. Academic he is, political leader he is not.
Hey, just an FYI re: your comment here:
While Ignatieff may feel, or may actually be, two-feet smarter than everyone else in the campaign (except for Dion...
I feel obliged to let you know that while Ignatieff was Rae's roommate, they both applied for the ultra-prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. Rae got it, Iggy didn't. I think you're omitting one of the brainiacs in your category buddy. :)
And re: "anonymous": Ignatieff makes some wonderful gaffes... *yawn* I'm tired, I'm going to get a good night's sleep, despite Qana... rofl.
I think the Martin Board has learned the hardest way possible and would be least likely to make the same mistake twice.
Although, this whole Iggy coronation theme is getting a little too familiar for my liking.
Well, kiddies, it's backfired on Brison. Now everyone is reminded of his "serious" gaffes.
Brison's also looking desperate at this point. Too bad, because he does have some interesting views and policies but everyone is now concentrating on silly rubbish that doesn't matter.
