Iggy has been ambivalent about direct questions regarding a coalition. He won't rule it out; he won't rule it in. He's being all politicky; you know, like Harper. He probably wants to keep his options open, and I don't blame him.
I hope people get tired of talking about it soon, because if it's going to be an election question, it will be a waste of an opportunity to punish the Tories for their transgressions.
I really hope the Liberals come up with something. I know they aren't perfect either, but they'd be better than another Tory government at this point.
If you take a look at the difference between the Tory ads vs. the Liberal ads, you will see what I hope to be the standard for the election. The Tories have been all about character assassination and misleading the public on Ignatieff, while the Liberals have focused on, you know, facts: Tory abuses of power and economic policies that benefit individual Canadians.
