Eric Vail has it right here. Your pre-dispositions colour your views on the debate. I watched the whole thing and, (shockingly, I know), thought Taft did well while Stelmach came off as an idiot.
I don't know what "socialist" spending race you're talking about though. One party has spent more money than any other in history and the other two are the Liberals and NDP! That seems to me like a pure ideological slant on the situation. Taft said point blank "I think that enough money has been spent...its the way its being spent". Hardly sounds like your spending race to me!
All I can say for sure is that there are a lot of disaffected voters out there, and voting Conservative doesn't change anything. It makes them think that they are doing a great job...which not many people agree to be the case.
