He doesn’t look comfortable with what he’s defending. He shouldn’t.

Iggy shouldn’t have sloughed it off.

…because he doesn’t want another election? What?

Sounds self-interested. He’s equating the country’s disinterest in elections with the need for a Conservative majority. Bad strategy.

There goes the “bickering” word again. Iggy’s right on him.

Harper looks programmed.

Layton looks a bit off-balance.

Duceppe looks pissed off.

Ignatieff looks better than the Ignatieff in those CPC ads.

I’m not sure why he’s doing that. I’m not sure it’s bad.

My son is playing a combat game on the iPad.

Harper says it wasn’t a coalition.

Layton says he’s fibbing. Says he was ready to become PM with the Bloc’s help.

This ain’t good for Harper.

Iggy says “a colaition is out for me.” Sigh.

Let’s see how true that is in three or so weeks.

Kicked his ass, there. Harper still isn’t sweating, however.

“This isn’t bickering. This is democracy.” Iggy kicks ass, there, again. As close a defining moment as we’ll get tonight, I suspect.

Layton looks idiotic with this “Ottawa is broken” meme. Harper regains composure. Uses his FM radio news reader voice. Go back to sleeeeep, Canada….

How are you guys going to work together? Good question.

Harper says he wants a majority. Ignatieff goes after him, face on. He should speak more straight to camera.

Harper is contemptuous of contempt. Mentions another election. Doesn’t mention “coalition”!

Iggy: “You haven’t earned a majority…you toss people out because you’re afraid they might ask a tough question!”

He hits him hard. This part’s a clip.

That’s what Iggy said, then he imitates flowers blooming. That’s a first for a leaders’ debate.

Harper seems medicated. He is being accused of myriad crimes and doesn’t break stride. Unflappable, so far.

The set, by the way, resembles a number of original series Star Trek episodes.

Looks flustered. Calls Paikin “Mr. Speaker,” sputters.

Iggy moves in to draw blood. Mentions Bev Odious, says “you abused democracy.” Good moment, but camera angle was weird.

Harper doing the “nothing to see here” schtick.

Duceppe goes back at Parliamentary contempt issue. Quotes the old Stephen Harper, like Layton did.

Harper parries, doesn’t lose his cool. Layton goes back it. Mentions Senate, fingers Conservative fraudsters in the Senate!

Harper talks about the environment. Is he aware his skin tone is not a colour found in the environment?
