Second question

Was on how Canada can its positive international influence abroad. Ignatieff and Layton started the dance, by making it about democracy. "How can Harper promote democracy abroad if he doesn't believe in it at home?"

Layton followed up by mentioning the Senate killing bill S-11 in November. I knew it wasn't long coming. It seemed like a tag-team against Harper for a minute. Until they started talking about Afghanistan. Then Layton began laying in to Iggy. "I think it's responsible, for our armed forces to help the Afghan people."

Then it became a free-for all. Again.

Harper still a cool customer. He actually looks at the camera when giving a response, while the others stare at the other candidates. I think that could pay off really well with voters. The point of the leaders debate isn't to win the argument with the other leaders, but to win over possible voters.

Reaction from the NCB when Harper speaks.
"I hate his creepy voice!"
"I hate his creepy FACE!"

Somehow Ignatieff managed to tweet during the middle of the debate. How did that work?
