I'd say you're bang on - excepting the knock out punch - everybody took a smack or two excepting Duceppe, who no one cared about.
It was basically 2 hours that I'd say no one watched entirely unless they are super into politics and already have their mind made up - it'll be more important how it is spun than anything because Joe idiot who is watching american idol when that was on will read the headline in the sun and that will conclude the debate to him.
Tomorrow the Globe will headline something like "Opposition leaders hammer Harper"
And the Post will be even more extreme with something like "Harper stands strong in face of
coalition of criticisms"
