Just a few thoughts quick about the English language debate tonight, further info tomorrow:
Best Dressed Leader - Gilles Duceppe - his Pinstriped suit and silver tie looked sharp.
Best ‘Sleeper’ Point - Paul Martin saying ‘it’s a testament to the liberals that we’re even debating surpluses tonight’
Strangest Faces Shown on Camera - Duceppe while Martin was addressing the separatist issue. Paul Martin when Layton suggested he didn’t support gay rights.
Worst Handler Suggestion - The suggestion that Stephen Harper smile during the his response to each question. It made him look creepy - I was waiting for the punchline to a joke.
Biggest Name Dropper - Jack Layton, who used a regional NDP candidate’s name in almost every answer he gave.
‘Would Not Stop’ Award - Jack Layton, who ignored the timeframe given more often than not.
