I wasn't trying to say she isn't a good leader or doesn't beloing here (though I don't think she does). It was just an observation. However, if someone is sitting undecided, her performance so far isn't going to sway many voters.

I wonder how many takes that first question took. Dion couldnt even pronounce his name.

Wow. I'm impressed with Layton. I vehemently disagree with his fight, but he sure knows which direction to point his knife. He is systematically taking jabs at Harper and Dion and man oh man he's hitting hard.

Boblobla · 10-02-2008, 07:35 PM

HA, awesome, Harper knows the French page numbers of the Liberal platform. At least he did some research.

I completely agree. He's performed very well. I don't agree with him, but he speaks well and he knows his policies.

Agreed. Dion can't even speak.

Layton has always been a good orator/debater.

He's had a loootttt of practice...

Is just me or is Dion really that hard to understand... and why does he keep saying "turd"....

What countries have a carbon tax worked in?

The Goon · 10-02-2008, 07:41 PM

I feel bad for Dion. He's obviously a very smart guy, it's a shame that his hearing problem makes his speech very difficult to follow.

He may not be best suited as a party leader, rather a strong policy guy behind the scenes.

"Where's your platform? Under the sweater?"

LOL

Boblobla · 10-02-2008, 07:42 PM

lol, Harper = Enron

killer_carlson · 10-02-2008, 07:46 PM

I'm surprised that the Green party would start the region vs region political attacks. That's brutal.

Dion's language will not fly.

Duceppe has an easy time picking spots when he only has one issue he has to worry about.

Layton has an easy time because he knows he'll never form government. Layton's best shot is to be the balance of power in a minority government.

harper needs to come out and attack in my opinion. My wife thinks he looks better staying cool though.

Boblobla · 10-02-2008, 07:47 PM

HA, May it terrible.

What an ugly baby.

Daradon · 10-02-2008, 07:47 PM

I've never been a conservative booster, (though I did vote reform in the olden days to get them into the fray) but I'm pretty happy with the way they've run the country over the last two short terms. Yeah it could be better, but I don't see a lot of alternatives from the others.

And some of their assertions and attacks are silly.

Honestly, I thought he was brutal 3 years ago. He has been far more effective and impressive this time around. I can't stand his platform, but I have to agree that he's been very good this debate.

Boblobla · 10-02-2008, 07:48 PM

How was Layton in the French debate? He is doing quite well tonight.
