Dion looked awful. He let himself get absolutely eviscerated by Layton and was unable to match any of the passion exhibited by any of the other leaders.
Dion didn't look good... there's no two ways about it. But Layton simply sounded like an angry drunk at the local pub. If people are impressed by baseless bluster, then yeah, go Jack go. If Layton was a centre-right leader and his mindless bluster was aimed at the lefties like that, I still don't think I could vote for him. Its fine to engage in a good attack or two... but it needs to be measured, and mixed in with solid leadership, charisma and intelligence.
