Yes, thats a solid performance. Wonder who watches though - are they appealing to voters who've not made up their minds or just to viewers already engaged in politics enough to know how they're voting and just want their opinion confirmed.

I assume they didn't have the 45 second time limit last night.

The format and style of these debates continues to drift towards the case of who can shout the loudest for the longest.

I saw the show last night and must admit I didn't see very much in the way of "debate", in fact I was half expecting the leaders to start thumping each other at some point.
