I thought Ignatieff was ok, but not great and he came across as petty.
Layton did a decent job
Duceppe was duceppe
I think Harper did well, nobody landed a solid blow on him, he didn't lose his temper and he was the only guy that actually have to rely on policy and fact.
The debate format is still flawed, its basically a 3 on 1 bashing.
The guy who designed the set must have seen my dads rec room.
I would basically state
Ignatieff Harper a tie (Harper was solid, didn't come across as angry Harper. Ignatieff kept repeating the same stuff, but he didn't do a great job on his policy)
Layton came across as a used car salesman, he hammered Ignatieff on the attendance record and was the most relaxed.
Duceppe He didn't have anything to use, looked like a a%% on the immigration issue, and his Quebec is a nation thing. His closing speech was awful and he read too much off of his cue card.
