My Thoughts on the Debate

Earlier yesterday, I had the chance to go see the Liberal Leadership Debate at Roy Thompson Hall, Let me say that it was a phenomenal seating arrangement and I must say that I was delightfully entertained.

Some of the highlights included:

*The Rae and Ignatieff Exchange: Rae and Iggy both went for each other's throats here, sufficed to say they both missed landing a blow. But clearly Michael Ignatieff was completely off his game today in the debate, this was a man who is clearly nervous about hanging on to victory.

*Stephane Dion: Hands Down Dion won the debate, Dion has earned my second choice and I will support him if Kennedy should fall. I think Stephane Dion was the only candidate in the room to show that he has major cojones. He has consistently defended the Liberal Party's record in Government and he would be the one to take away Mr. Harper's tired old line that the Liberals did nothing. Mr. Dion was fiery and passionate, he didn't wobble he took a position and he stuck with it. Watching Mr. Dion transform himself over these past few months has been nothing short of Remarkable. The man stands up for what he believes in and he will challenge anybody who tries to prove him wrong.

*Gerard Kennedy: Let me say that my opinion of Gerard has shifted significantly. Do not get me wrong, I have been a supporter of his campaign from Day one and I will support him until he comes last in one of the ballots, to be quite honest.

*Bob Rae: We all know he is a phenomenal debater, my only worry remains is how will he be able to ask the people of Ontario to trust him again.

Thats my analysis

"Let me say that my opinion of Gerard has shifted significantly."

Do you want to elaborate?
