As someone without skin in the game and not engaged in Alberta politics, just based on demeanor and presence, I thought Smith looked better. Mileage might vary, but maybe typical non-engaged voters in Alberta thought the same. I am not saying I would vote for her based on this though.
I didn't think Notley was terrible though. I generally get irritated when politicians speak regardless. If I vote, it is almost entirely on the printed platform. These types of things are usually just preaching to the choir anyway. If you already prefer one side, it's unlikely to change anything.
