Wow. The most interesting election in twenty years?
As far as I can tell.
CTV has already called the moment of night -- Jack Layton's denunciation of Paul Martin for refusing to bring equal marriage to a vote in Parliament.
Stephen Harper was clearly the coolest of the bunch, but seemed to simply fall below the radar for extended periods of time.
That, though, may hurt Paul Martin most; he needed Harper's agenda front and centre.
Duceppe played his welcome role as an instigator. That must be fun, with nothing on the line in English Canada.
Martin floundered. Not two ways about it.
Anyone who says that tonight was 'not about scoring points', knows that he's lost the debate -- perhaps the election.
Layton? Aggressive. Lethal.
As a hardcore politico I loved it. We'll see if calmer folks agree.
