Ignatieff Has More to Prove Than Harper


I really laughed when I saw this cartoon from Brian Gable at the Globe and Mail. To me it really represents the feel that I'm getting from the stump speeches of these two leaders. 

On the one hand, Ignatieff is trying to appear as the scrappy up and coming candidate whose taking on stubborn, impassioned, and dodgy incumbent (an image which Harper isn't do much to remedy these days). 
On the other hand, the cartoon shows Harper as though he weren't taking Ignatieff all that seriously. Seen here in his pyjamas, I kind of get the feeling that Harper is almost in cruise control in the election. His attitude reflects a confidence that I don't feel is there or is credible in the other candidates.
