I know it is only 20 min in but the real winners in my mind are Duceppe who is doing a wonderful job fallowed by Harper, Layton, May and Dion are doing a terrible job. I know i had been indignant that May was not invited, but she is coming off as a shrill harpy who only seems to have read one book on the economy and is just parroting it, though at least she is sourcing it. It isn't that Dion is doing a bad job but he is just so meek, he just doesn't have it as a leader. Layton comes off as a Union heavy. Like a thug. "One pound of flesh, no more no less. No cartilage, no bone, but only flesh. This task done, and he would go free."

I kind of agree eith you Ziv about Dion, he does need to step up and show a little more strength, although I think he did manage to take Harper to task none the less, and that was nice to see, he also stood up to Layton more than I was expecting. Speaking of Layton, I actually thought that he did really well, but I realise that I'm subjective about the candidate that I support personally. I didn't see Harper as even being willing or able to debate at all, he just recited PR talking points without genuinely discussing any issues. Music to go fuck yourself to...

Truth be told, no one with exception to the Liberals seems to have any kind of Platform, well other than the Bloc, but Separation is a rather boring platform. As you said, Harper only used talking points, however, the fact that just using talking points he managed to maintain the 2nd place in the debate. says a lot about the opposition. As I originally states Duceppe clearly was the winner. It will be a scary day for us Conservatives, if the Liberals ever turn him into a federalist and have him run for PM. I especially enjoyed when he commented that only Dion or Harper have any chance of being PM. He is self deprecating and astute and I really enjoyed him "One pound of flesh, no more no less. No cartilage, no bone, but only flesh. This task done, and he would go free."

He is self deprecating and astute and I really enjoyed him yeah, although I don't see it as self deprecating, so much as just realistic. In that respect I think that Layton would be a lot more effective if he defined his campaign more as a run for official opposition. Music to go fuck yourself to...

To trumpet another commentatory on the CBC. HD is not friendly to Elizabeth May. "One pound of flesh, no more no less. No cartilage, no bone, but only flesh. This task done, and he would go free."

Duceppe however is a very handsome man. "One pound of flesh, no more no less. No cartilage, no bone, but only flesh. This task done, and he would go free."

They were hovering around 38-40% a couple weeks ago and now they are hovering around 35-36% with the other parties picking up steam. It will be interesting to see if this momentum continues. Conservitive Majoriety may still be a possibility, but the most likely outcome i see is another conservtaive minority at this point, but if the libs and npd can pick up a little more strength and keep the momentum going against the conservatives, they might be able to pull off a Liberal NDP majority. Personally I'm really hoping for the the 3rd option even though it may a long shot. It would be nice(but probably not likely) if the greens could even pick up a couple of seats and have some power. The dynamic between the Liberal's and NDP is also really interesting this tiem around. Jack Layton is clearly seen as the stronger leader in the poles and it seems as though people are taking him much more seriously now, but the Liberal brand is still so strong that it is very tough for him to make any significant gains. This continues to be a very exciting campaign. much more exciting than the one south of the border for me personally. Last Edited By: CHR15 10/03/08 17:09:14. Edited 3 times.
