I sat through two hours of the Canadian four-way debate this evening and was surprised at the outcome - Stephen Harper kept his cool when others lost theirs and came across as the only man able to lead Canada after May 2nd.
Layton (NDP) come off worse, his shrill buffoonery easily rebuffed by Harper, while Ignatieff did not manage to present himself as the wise and experienced politician his party believes him to be. He almost immediately forgot the name of a member of the public who asked a question to the panel (it was Len) and declared his party to be in favour of "health prevention".
Harper's cool, calm and collected demeanour should have earned him a majority tonight, and I spoke to one lifelong Liberal today who will certainly be voting for him.
The times they are a-changing.
But is Harper one of us?

Anon, when you put it that way... but you know I tend to look at things in degrees of good or awfulness :)
