They keep saying Ignatieff's the smart one...

...but... right now... it's looking like the political equivalent of suicide by cop...

As the campaign begins, the focus to a large degree is on the leaders and Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff is struggling right off the bat.

His approval rating sits at 19 per cent — about the same as Bloc Leader Gilles Duceppe on a national basis.

That is barely half the 37 per cent approval rating garnered by both Harper and NDP Leader Jack Layton.

FROM THE COMMENTS: Never mind the 19%...

...I'm with Gilles...

"Did you watch as Duceppe called Harper a liar. called him(,) a liar."
