Master Debaters

(forgive the juvenile title)

The highlights and lowlifes of the leader’s debate.

Yes I watched it, although Ms. BNB lasted about six minutes. I suspect it was a common nap time throughout the land.

Most impressive in that format in my humble opinion was Ms. Micheals. I was impressed with her confidence and ability to speak on the issues despite being the newbie and essentially being a party of one. She also allowed due courtesy to give others their time.

All three leaders in fact made a good show. Good knowledge of the issues. Good attention to the often forgotten issues of rural Newfoundland and Labrador and Labrador issues itself.

The lowlifes? This is not a mark on the ability of either of the gentlemen but whenever Mr. Reid and Premier Williams debated, both points were lost to overtalking and rhetoric. The debates could have benefited from some better moderation.

Not a lot in the way of substance and nothing particularly new or exciting. If you taped it, poor a stiff one when you watch.
