We all know it’s coming in January. The unflatering picture. The tag line. The commercials.

The Liberals have vowed to not let it happen again. But to prevent the Conservatives from defining Ignatieff, the Grits will need to define him first.

2. How should the Liberals?

I’ll post some of the responses later this week, along with my two cents.
