Anybody watch the debate?
I caught about half of it. I thought Weaver was great. Horgan was decent, and Clark was her usual smiley happy "jobs jobs jobs" self (which is not necessarily a bad thing, by the way).
One thing I found very interesting was the preponderance of 1-on-1 questions that were directed at Weaver by one of the other leaders. It seemed like they were really after him. I also inferred that they are taking him very seriously.
The Greens may do even better than I predicted. It's just hard to see where the ridings are going to come from though. Could grab a couple more on the island I guess, pushing their total to five (up from my prediction of three).
