Stephen Harper: 28 807---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This may seem trivial (as Michael Ignatieff is only up by 13 supporters) but PM Harper has been owning Michael Ignatieff on facebook* for a long time. Stephen Harper has also been Prime Minister for 4 years and after his performance at an Elitist Art Gala there should logically be a facebook surge.
Recently, Michael Ignatieff engaged the grass roots on Clean-energy (ironically on the same day that the G77 countries walked out on Environment Minister Prentice when he spoke of gutting the new Copenhagen agreement) by posting the Liberal Party's Clean-energy platform on a Facebook note and asking for input. So far there are 79 responses. President Obama (another Harvard Professor turned Politician) had strong grass-roots support especially among young voters. The MSM has ignored speech, after speech, after speech, after speech, after speech, after speech, after speech, after speech (not to mention the plethora of speeches Michael Ignatieff delivered over the summer that got no coverage at all.) Hopefully social-media will allow Mr. Ignatieff and the Liberal Party to deliver their message directly to Canadians instead of through the media who have been playing interference for the Stephen Harper/Conservatives for four long, failure filled years.

UPDATE:
Michael Ignatieff: 28 849
Stephen Harper: 28 804
Great blog post Joseph! I've been waiting patiently for this inversion to happen.
I've been following the Politwitter stats and as of a month or two ago the Liberals have been trending in a very upwards fashion. I thought my earlier prediction of Liberals over taking the Cons by Xmas was overly optimistic, but maybe not?
Don't you love it when I'm wrong
