Leadership debate a review

As someone who has done debate prep, having been in a few TV debates and watched these guys a few times now I thought I would give my impressions on the Debate.

Fashion:

Dinning - ouch your tie is blinding me... Orange may be party colours but your tie GLOWs on TV.

Morton - Ted, no patterns no stripes no checks you did them all. It may look great in person but it looked just wrong on TV. Red power tie out out out.

Stelmach - Almost perfect. the glasses were distracting and late in the debate you looked like you were struggling with the lights...

Body Style:

Stelmach - understated for the most part... looked down too much especially at the end when he bumped his notes into frame.

Dinning - Wow more and more I am picturing Paul Martin, or is it Brian Mulroney. The constant pointing and hand waving did little to do with getting his point across just made him distracting. Oh and no one likes to be pointed at.

Morton - um and um and um dunno if it is a speech issue or what but that was his biggest distraction. I liked the fact that he smiled but did not smirk like Harper.

What they said:

Morton - As you can imagine I believed he had a good night. I thought he got some good comebacks in but did not hit a homerun. If he is playing the role of frontrunner he is accomplishing a good strategy.

Stelmach - Had some good linking but his whole campaign may have been destroyed by his last statement where he ended up staring at his notes that were crawling farther and farther into the frame. Still seems like an ok #2.

Dinning - Took a few cheap shots as you would imagine someone trailing would do. He scored few hits and probably lost points with his circular answer to why Morton would exclude some from the party but he would um somehow include everyone but well Morton's people.
