It's the same story as in the States, conservative minded people will think Harper one the debate, liberals will think Dion presented well, and the NDP will some how believe that Layton not only won, but didn't embarrass the party.
As an uncommitted voter, I'd argue that May was indeed the strongest. The only mis-step for me was her opening statements about how we need to devalue Canadian currency and encourage the export of Canadian resources (something I hold as fundamentally wrong). Other then that, her ideas on the economy, medical support and other issues sounded fresh, "real", and promissing.
The thing that may have won my vote was her statement about the electoral system.
Dion just looked like an idiot continually spelling doom and gloom for our economy (yeah, way to spread FUD...). Harper is bang on in how to deal with the economic "crisis", and Layton kept getting a hard-on everytime he said "ExxonMobil".
Duceppe was the most entertaining. He doens't give a crap about anything outside of Quebec's interests so he was free to make comments all night long. His quip about how three of the leaders at the table would not have a chance at being Prime Minister was the defining moment of the night for me.
