| Description | The contrast is remarkable. Stephen Harper, the veteran, still relies on a teleprompter to help recite a speech so tightly scripted that reporters at the back of the room mouth the words in unison.
Michael Ignatieff, the rookie, bounds onto the stage, shirtsleeves rolled up, grabs a wireless mike and proceeds to give an unscripted barn-burner that had this writer shaking his head in admiration.
And yet none of it gets past the room.
Despite his inspiring message, his passionate delivery, his casual mastery of the art of the stump speech – a form he knew little about not that long ago – Michael Ignatieff can’t make his message heard to save his life. Or maybe he can, but people aren’t buying. |
