Michael Ignatieff said he is the Liberals best chance to defeat Stephen Harper in the next election, as the Toronto MP announced Thursday he will try once again to win the leadership of his party -- a job he narrowly missed out on two years ago
"I am in," the 61-year-old MP and deputy party leader said at a news conference where he confirmed what was already widely expected. "I'm running because I love my country, because I love my party and because I believe I can offer the leadership this country needs in tough times."
Ignatieff said he is going to be in competition with some "fine fellow Liberals" for the leadership, but he's not running against them, but rather Harper and his Conservative government.
"I have a very strong desire within me, a burning desire to beat the Harper government and I'm in the best position to do so. That's what matters. Who can win? Who can defeat Mr. Harper? Who can replace a Conservative government?"

One add. "Not a Canadian!"
Another elitist "Professor" who has lived most of his life in the US.
He has spent most of his life in school . . . how does that qualify him for leadership of anything?
Last thing Canada needs is another "brainiac" who believer in Gorebull Warming . . . he may even have less experience than the Bama-one . . . and that's a really thin resume!!!
