I don't mean that Iggy isn't well educated, compassionate, or anything else but he is seen as a businessman from the US (yeah, I konw) and, as such, is suspect to a large portion of the voters which is compounded by the fact that he is extremely intelligent which is lost on the average voter when he cannot articulate his proposals in a manner that the average voter can understand.

I tend to think that I am at least "average" and when I watched him try to explain his proposed cabon tax on CBC my impression was that he was either too intelligent to explain it to me in laymans terms or he was stunned as me arse. Either way, that equals stunned as me arse IMO. I understand the carbon tax... what I don't understand is why he could not explain it on CBC. Political suicide indeed. Minded me a Garge... the left hand fools me twice... er, ahhhh

Anyway, it's gonna be a crap shoot... I think it's gonna boil down to how pissed off Canucks are and they have a lot of things to be pissed off about.
