I agree that Harper is a better public speaker, but he isn't that great either. Anyone who judges them on anything but their message is just being petty.
All you need to do is read the stories in the media today. Dion, the Liberals and the coalition did not come off as looking professional or capable. The video quality and tardiness of the delivery is part of that. Dion did not need to wait to put what he said together. As pointed out I don't believe it was to be a response speech but a "why they are doing this speech".

Like it or not, being "presedential looking" or in this case "prime ministerial" is a BIG deal to a lot of people.
