Iggy's going to annopunce tomorrow at !0:00 ET that he is stepping down as leader of the Libs, but will stay on until a successor is chosen.

Guess who the party will be 'throwing under the train'!

Does he have his sword?

He's going to have his choice of several!

He should thank Jean.

Bye Bye Iggy, go back to the States and vote there you useless fuck.

I am truly saddened and shocked he lost his own seat. Such a sad day for him.

It'll probably be a blessing for the Liberal party. He wasn't quite right for them and the results tonight bear that out.

He never was 'the man for the job'. Too little, too late!

In the interim, Ralph will step in until the party holds a vote. When you're on the bottom, there's only one way to go!

I'm also sad that he lost in his own riding. Iggy is a decent person, and I honestly believe he started off with a positive campaign and the best of intentions. The problem was the attacks and smears against him were very effective - to the point that the other party's views on him represented him more than he could represent himself. Iggy spent so much time trying to tell people what he was "not" that Canadians couldn't even tell what he was.

Personally, I see it as a sad reflection of the political culture recently growing here. When campaigns start becoming based on fear and attacks, something is very wrong.

Anyway, I wish Iggy the best in the future. Hopefully the Liberals can find a stronger leader... I'll be patiently waiting and rooting for them while they rebuild. They better make sure to do it properly this time.

MY heart doesn't bleed for Iggy. He gave it his best shot and failed. I think he's probably happy that he lost his seat. It gives him and excuse to move on to greener pastures where his talents will be more appreciated. And for someone with the success he's had, a little failure will probably make him a better man.


Agree about the attack ads tho.

Iggy is Intelligent, but he makes John Kerry look like Obama.
