As usual though, whichever party people support is who won the debate. I would say Mulcair lost and May/Trudeau won. Harper didn't lose and that's really what he needs to do as incumbent. Realistically though the election is over 2 months away...so anything from tonight isn't a factor that far in advance anyway.

I agree. I am surprised at how many people thought Trudeau was that bad, even his closing remarks. I felt he laid out his thoughts well and didn't say anything that he will regret. It also seemed like he was trying to drive home that they are middle path and not just an NDP alternative.
I always feel that too many people look at superficial aspects during these debates. I also feel that the format of this debate didn't lend itself well to the 3 centre/left parties though as they didn't get to drive home their social platforms. You could tell that the other 3 wanted to sneak it in whenever they could, but it some times made their arguments disjointed by trying to say too much with little time.
I think people forget that how when Harper became PM, he was completely wooden and about as charismatic as a stone. Obviously he learned a lot on the job about public speaking.
