The Debate

Well, that was fun. Things really came into perspective for me tonight. We are quite possibly in the midst of witnessing one of the biggest shifts in Canadian campaign history. I don't think there's even been a worse performance by a sitting Prime Minister in a debate.

Can the man not string a proper sentence together?

And what was with the notwithstanding clause policy announcement? It has the "written on the back of a napkin" feeling. Made me think of Stockwell Day's "No 2-tier healthcare" sign. It is so transparently phony, so obviously motivated out of desperation, I can't imagine anyone buying it.

Stephen Harper was really impressive, again. An improvement on his performance from the first debate. His message remains focused, simple and straightforward. No-nonsense. People are looking for that right now. Layton and Duceppe, I think, were sideshows.

Dare I say it? Barring an unmitigated disaster, looks like the Tories will w.... No. I won't. Fourteen days is a long, long, long time. An eternity. Anything could happen. And knowing the media in this country, it probably will.
